“This dojo is fantastic! It teaches aiki-juijutsu. Like many martial arts, it focuses on pillars of character such as honesty, honor and loyalty. The focus is on a defensive demeanor rather than an offensive one, yet employs moves that can debilitate an aggressor.”

“Fishhawk Martial Arts Academy is more than just a dojo. It is a second home for most students (parents, grandparents and aunts alike!). The instructors don’t just teach the ways of Aiki-Jujutsu; they instill a sense of belonging and brotherhood, while at the same time making everything they do interesting, pleasant and challenging for the students. Anyone who is looking for a positive and fulfilling experience—this is the place to be and the family to be a part of. Keep on Rockin'!”
