North Shore Aikido is great place for both kids and adults to train and learn Aikido. Sensei Josh Weiser is a 6th Degree Black Belt and has a passion for sharing his knowledge of Aikido with all the students in the dojo. The fellow students that make up the dojo are friendly and great people to train with, no matter what your rank or Aikido knowledge. I have been training here for over a year and I plan to be here for many more years to come. If you are interested in learning more stop by and observe a class.

I've had the distinct opportunity to know Instructor Josh Weiser both personally and professionally for over 15 years.

When called-upon, Glenn has provided 'Personal Protection' and 'Personal Affairs Management' for my VIP Clients, some of whom are recognized as international icons in their field...

Additionally, in my work with the 'US Department of Defense (DOD)' I've enlisted Glenn's team at AoS to prepare me personally in the area of martial arts for tactical operations in hostile zones throughout the world.

Personally, Glenn has become a true friend and mentor of which I cannot imagine facing any situation, personal or professional, without him at my side.

Onward, Upward, Always, Together with Josh Weiser and North Shore Aikido!

North Shore Aikido is one of the finest dojos in the country. Their newly remodeled space is enormous and beautifully finished. Sensei Brooks is a talented Aikidoist and an amazing teacher. The senior students are patient and always willing to help out the newcomers. This is a great community of people and I am privileged and honored to train with them all. A+++

A very welcoming community. I joined a year ago and have been coming since. If you are new to Aikido, you can find here a group of Aikidoka that are open to teaching you. If you are advanced, you will find many black belts to train with. The chief instructor, Brooks Sensei, is a great, devoted teacher who truly cares about his students. Also, the dojo is large and it has AC!

I really appreciate Aikido Dojo Sen Sai for allowing my cousin and I watch a session and get familiar with Dojo and style of teaching that is happening with North Shore Aikido. One aspect of the teaching strikes me the most is how serious and fun sessions are. Mid and Advanced Students help entry level students. Dojo is very welcoming and a lot of techniques make emphasis on precision and detail. I would recommend anyone who would like to improve their well being and different aspects of their lives.
