Aikido is not an aggressive martial art. You will learn how to handle yourself in a confrontation, how people move and how to deal with them in a non-confrontational manner.

From day one, the instructors and senior students created an environment that’s welcoming, respectful, and deeply rooted in tradition. Aikido is unlike any other martial art I’ve tried—it’s not about overpowering your opponent but learning how to redirect energy, stay centered, and respond with control. That mindset has carried over into other parts of my life in a big way.

I love how positive and nurturing the dojo is. Kids learn important self-defense skills while they build friendship, discipline, and confidence. Tuition is very reasonable, especially compared to other extracurricular activities in Fremont. It’s a non-profit organization, so the teachers are volunteers are truly there for their passion of teaching.
