About Aikido of San Diego

About Aikido of San Diego

Aikido of San Diego is a martial arts dojo community dedicated to the classic art form of Aikido. Originally known as Aikido of Mission Valley, we've been a San Diego asset since 2000. Aikido of San Diego is for people who want a traditional martial arts experience that offers practical wisdom for real life. Our members tend to be open-minded people who want a life practice for developing themselves in body, mind, and spirit, and who choose to approach martial arts (and life) from a place of discovery and compassion rather than fear and separation.

We offer Aikido classes six days/week for adults (14+) of all levels. Our children's program has classes two days/week for kids 8-13, and a class for kids 5-7 that runs in 8-week terms. We are affiliated with the Aikido World Headquarters (Aikikai) through active membership in the California Aikido Association.

Aikido of San Diego is a true community, and you can see more of us on our Facebook page.

"My children (now 18 and 13) have trained at Aikido of San Diego for six years despite the fact we live quite a distance away. Familiar with many other forms of martial arts, we chose aikido for two reasons: it is an excellent martial art for adults and children, and it is grounded in a spiritual philosophy whose benefits extend far beyond the mat into everyday life. We chose Aikido of San Diego because it's the best dojo in the county and Dave Goldberg is the best Sensei around!"

"I chose Aikido because, unlike many other martial arts, Aikido is about working smarter, not working harder. At Aikido of San Diego, I have lost weight, made friends, and even used the principles of Aikido to help make sense of my graduate school classes."
