I can’t believe its been 4 years since I took my first Aikido class.  I want to thank you for all the wonderful things you have done.  I have had a great time learning the techniques and making new friends.

I truly appreciate all the assistance + encouragement you gave me.  Earning my black belt was one of the most important and exciting events in my life.

Sensei, you and my experiences here have added a new dimension to my Aikido and life.

Thanks so much for everything you have done for me over the years.  It amazes me how much you have touched other people’s lives & made a difference.  I’ve learned so much from you and I will miss you

I greatly appreciate the opportunity to train intensively at AIF.  I have much work to do in preparation for my nidan test so the time with you and your students is invaluable.

Thank you being part of my aikido journey.  My time as an uchideshi was one of the most important aikido experiences of my life.

Thank you for helping me to challenge myself and to fit a few more of the pieces in the puzzle we call Aikido.

Thank you for being my teacher both on and off the mat.  It is a real joy to be your student.

Great dojo, great people!

Thank you sensei for your teaching and support, and all my fellow AIF aikido students with whom I have trained.

Aikido in Fredericksburg is an awesome, loving Aikido home with high standards held in a supportive environment.

Thank you for all your instruction and support

thank you for your dedication both to the art of Aikido and to me as your friend and student. My life is immensely richer because of our fortuitous meeting.

Thank you for the wonderful community you have built, and for welcoming my friends and I to share such excellent training.

“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.
