Aikido (Columbus Aikikai)

Aikido is the art with the broadest offering at the center. It is taught under the Columbus Aikikai name and is the only art with a dedicated youth program. If you are looking for a class for a child, Aikido is the option to consider, with sessions on Saturday mornings and Tuesday evenings.

Arnis (United Modern Arnis)

Arnis is taught through United Modern Arnis. The center lists adult classes for this art. No youth Arnis classes are mentioned, so this program is aimed at adults.

Katori Shinto Ryu

Katori Shinto Ryu is the third art offered, also with adult classes. Like Arnis, no youth program is listed for this art.

What this means for choosing

  • If you want a class for a child: Aikido is the only art with a youth schedule at this center.
  • If you are an adult comparing arts: All three arts offer adult classes, so the choice comes down to the style of training you prefer rather than availability.
  • If you want more individual attention: Semi-private lessons are available, though the site does not specify which arts they cover.
  • If location matters: The center sits in Hilliard, Ohio, just off I-270, convenient to the western edge of Columbus.
