Superb dojo conveniently located near Metro in Silver Spring, MD. In addition to aikido, this is one of the few places in the US where you can get deep training in Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto ryu.

I trained at this place and decided to move onto karate and TaeKwonDo. I was impressed by the warming atmosphere from the instructors when I entered the dojo. The students welcomed me in and helped me learn techniques. The masters gave lots of attention to their students. Would definitely recommend this place to train.

This place is excellent. My 7 year old daughter currently attends the kids classes, my older daughter went here for about seven years, so I've been a 'dojo dad ' for close to ten years now. The Saturday morning kids class is great, the senseis make the lessons inclusive and accessible to all the kids and they make it FUN and engaging for the kids. Comfy couches and camp chairs for all the parents to sit and watch. Quite honestly, half of us parents come for sensei Dave's comedic talents. He has an amazing way with the kids, but so do Tom and Sara. Your kids can come start anytime, attend as many weeks as you want, there's no set course, just pay a very reasonable monthly mat fee, sign a waiver and you're in. Can't recommend highly enough!

I've been practicing here for over a year and it's been a great experience. The price is very reasonable, the instructors are great. The dojo is spacious, and the class sizes are not too big, not too small. It's also about a 9 minute from Silver Spring Metro. Check it out!

I've been training at this dojo for more than seventeen years. I've been lucky in my aikido tourism both in the U.S. and abroad, but still think Capital Aikikai is one of the best places possible to get a solid martial arts education.
