Come Train!

I train at Aikido of San Diego, under Dave Goldberg Sensei, 5th Dan.

In the San Diego area? If you're thinking about trying Aikido, please come visit the dojo and see a class or two for yourself. If you already train, you're welcome to drop in for a small daily mat fee.

We are a well-established Aikido dojo, with experienced instructors and friendly, vibrant community of dojo members.
