“You are a fabulous mentor and this is an incredible program that cannot be underestimated.”

If you are looking for a place to immerse yourself in Aikido, have the desire to partake in the Uchideshi experience, or just happen to be seeking good Aiki practice and community in a rural and beautiful location, come check out Aikido in Fredericksburg, Virginia (USA).

There is a tremendous humanitarian investment here. Aikido of Fredericksburg promotes the beautiful art of Aikido, enhances the mindset of environmental guardianship, and elevates the responsibility of service to others.

I have just completed a week of teaching in residence there and felt the need to bring this information forward for any of you who might have interest.
I highly recommend it.

Training, especially with fellow aikidoka in different countries, gives me hope for humanity.

Our world today, needs so many people like you. That rise up and put into operation the ethic of the Japanese Culture and the richness it possesses.

Just want you to know how precious you and meaningful the Dojo has been to us, our Family and our new way of life in FXBG.

Just wanted you to again know. I am and will continue to be Eternally grateful for you and Aikido in our lives.

tantastic seminar with Wolfgang shihan last weekend! thank you to you, Donna San and dojo for everything you all did to make it possible!

Thank you for keeping such a magnificent center of peace and training alive and flourishing

James really enjoyed the classes

My daughter fell out of a high tree today – and all the other parents in the park gasped as she naturally went into an Aikido roll before standing up without a scratch on her. Definitely a useful skill at all ages!

Learning how to fall and get back up help me a great deal in my life

I like how the community comes together at the dojo.

I am so thankful that i came accross your Aikido studio. I have struggled with having a hobby to work on in my retirement that wont bankrupt me. I have always yearned for confidence if and when a stranger confronted me, and or my family in a do or die  situation. I truly feel that i am in the right place to train me to gain that confidence that i am looking for.

We all had a wonderful time yesterday and today.  Thank-you for all the work you put into organizing and making this happen.

I’m really enjoying it. It’s challenging, but in a good way. Everyone has been very helpful and patient with me, which is very appreciated because it feels like it can take awhile for me to catch on sometimes. I feel like things are starting to stick a little bit now. I’m excited to keep learning and training with everyone.

She is LOVING her classes and the complete experience…this has been gift for us to see her grow in Aikido.  She was so touched by how everyone encouraged her and congratulated her…. just a wonderful experience!!

Aikido in Fredericksburg is to be highly commended for their handling of the pandemic and how safe and connected you all have managed to make our community feel even within a full year of quarantine. Thank you to everyone for the work you do on all our behalf

Thank You, Sensei, for your dedicated and innovative leadership and guidance during this very challenging time!

Many thanks for being a great teacher and making the past year one of the best.

I cannot express my gratitude & joy for being a part of this program & family.

I’m so grateful for your dojo and all that it has meant to my daughter

I appreciate all that I am learning in practice to be mindful, balanced, and connected and that it is essential to settle with each movement, be grounded, and have control

I thank you for all the ways in which you, the Dojo community, and Aikido enrich our lives

The night I decided, so many years ago, to give the Fredericksburg dojo a try was one of the wisest intuitive decisions of my life.
