“I have studied martial arts for over 40 years. Presently I am a 7th degree Black Belt in Karate. Over the last 20 years I have worked out and attended classes at this Dojo in Aikido and Tai Chi as a complement to my karate training.The instruction is top notch and authentic. I have seen a lot of martial artists in my life but this Dojo's owner is one of the best I've ever known.If you want true Asian inspired classes combined with instruction that surpasses most other schools in the valley, then this is the one hands down.Don't miss a chance to workout in a true Aikido setting with professional instructors.“
“I have had the honor to train with Shihan and Sensei for almost 10 years now, and along with helping me build more discipline, confidence, and rectitude, they have helped me build my yoga practice to help create a sense of stability and mobility so I can train safe and efficient for years to come!“

“I have known Michael Friedl Shihan, 7th degree black belt, for 35 years. I've been attending seminars at Aikido of Ashland for all that time. Friedl Sensei is a gifted instructor who, besides being technically proficient, teaches with a sense of humility and a terrific sense of humor. He is also an excellent kids' teacher -- a different skill from teaching adults -- and has even written a book about teaching children, called "Ahhh...To Be A Kid." If you're looking for an excellent Aikido dojo in the Rogue Valley, Aikido of Ashland is it! Would I lie to you?“
