Re: Help, I live 100+ miles away from nearest Aikido dojo!

Bennysan,

There is reportedly a new aikido dojo in Mexicali. I don't know where it is, but some telephone calls in Spanish might give you the information you need.

Kombat Arts in El Centro has recently combined with Viper BJJ on Main Street. The Viper instructor is a local cop who trained with Koga Sensei and incorporates a lot of aikido technique in their practice. He teaches classes on Tuesday and Wednesday nights from 7 to 9. They also have a judo instructor there a few classes a week.

The drive to and from Yuma gets really old after a while - I used to work in Winterhaven and live in El Centro. The longest sixty miles in the world during the summer months.

Good luck.

Michael
