I was quite surprised by the size and atmosphere of this Dojo. VERY friendly people to train with, especially Lowry Sensei himself. He always made sure we were comfortable, very hospitable, and made himself very accessible. I CAN’T wait to go there again!!! I highly recommend this Dojo for serious training.

Art M.

Just started taking classes here for Aikido. This is a great dojo with the best floor I’ve ever been on for training. The general feel is very laid back and inviting with still keeping a traditional aura. The people that I’ve met so far have also been very pleasant and eager to teach and learn.

I travel from Fl. to learn at this dojo, and will continue to do so.

The best place for budo, not just in OKC or even Oklahoma, but regionally. Nick Lowry sensei has something to offer everyone.

Home!!!

George S.

I came from a program where they really didn’t seem to want me. When I walked into Windsong, I was greeted, my questions were answered, and I was welcomed to participate. So, at Windsong: I was welcomed. I was included. I was accepted. I was instructed with patience. My progress was celebrated. I felt a balance of encouragement and challenge. No matter what age I reach, I will still be working on applications from what I learned at Windsong.

This is such a great place. Of course, the Aikido techniques are sound, but the people and practitioners are some of the finest people I have ever met. You will have fun and learn a lot about yourself as well.
