MY VISION

It is my intention that Grab My Wrist be a resource for the entire Aikido community — especially new students, and new teachers.

I hope you will find the information here helpful and encouraging. I hope you will enjoy your Aikido practice, and will continue to train and teach.

When we continue our practice we personally benefit, our dojos benefit, and the whole community benefits. In the true spirit of Aikido, we all win.

GANBATTE KUDASAI!

COME TRAIN…

I train at Aikido of San Diego, under Dave Goldberg Sensei, 6th 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 supportive dojo members.
