What Our Students Say

It doesn't "matter how big your attacker is, with Aikido you learn to use their momentum and force against them.

That's one of the things that sold me on trying out Aikido as my first martial art. As a petite woman, I wasn't going to be out muscling anybody...

That said, I was pleasantly surprised with how both physically & mentally stimulating the class was. Sensei Brooks is remarkably.

good at explaining and showing the proper technique I love that he explains both what right looks like and what incorrect looks like as well as what happens when you do things incorrectly. All while casually inserting humor where it fits.

Over the last almost 2 years at this dojo, I've found myself physically fitter, my posture is better than it ever was, and I've seen a significant increase in my core strength. This training works out your whole body at once.

When 6 pm rolls around and I'm practically itching to unleash some pent up energy after being stuck at my desk job all day.

That said, there are surprising life lessons that come to mind from Aikido as well. I am always thinking about how to carry that presence during any type of conflict and you really can use this to become the best version of yourself in multiple facets of your life. I love that I can see that not only in myself but in many members of the dojo as well.

So, if you are looking for self defense, self growth, physical fitness, or just a community of people to work out with, I can't recommend it enough!

I have been a member of this dojo for 15 months and can honestly say that I am very luckey to not only train with an amazing bunch of people but the dedication, knowledge and skills of Sensei Brooks are of the highest caliber. i could not ask for a better teacher. He brings out the best in all of us.

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!

Come and see a class for yourself what a special place this really is. I give my highest compliments of Sensei Brooks and the incredibly positive experience provided by this dojo and all the students involved. You would be hard pressed to find a better group of people, dojo, Sensei, or martial art to study. Becoming a student at North Shore Aikido is one of the best decisions I have ever made and one I am happy to share with my son who is also a student.

Tremendous instruction and membership. i highly recommend this dojo if your are interested in Aikido. North Shore Aikido is welcoming and encouraging. Couldn't imaging it being any better.

Wonderful dojo. I've been training here half of my life now and it's only gotten better the longer I've stayed.

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+++
