From the reviews
Awesome place, friendly people and knowledgeable instructors. Great place to exercise while learning the values of martial arts. No need to bore myself in the gym anymore, I just come on the mat, have fun, and keep in shape all at the same time!
I have been training at Shoshinkan for several years and absolutely love it. The instructors and the atmosphere they create are special and make for a unique opportunity for those looking to better themselves. This school offers Aikido, Judo, Japanese and Okinawan weapons as well as Karate.
My 15 year old takes classes here, and what he is learning is excellent. The teacher is clear in his instructions, which has lead to my son making rapid progress. This art form (Aikido) is unique, as it focuses less on an attack and more on safer ways to redirect the opponent's motion.
I walked into Shoshinkan Aikido while in Las Vegas for work. Having run my own Aikido Dojo in Florida I knew exactly what to look for. I have to say that the instructors and staff at Shoshinkan Aikido have it. They are well prepared to answer your questions and friendly.
Your first Karate class at SHOSHINKAN - Las Vegas Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
