What Parents & Students Say

“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.”

— Bill T Google Review

“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'!”

— Natalia B Google Review

“It's effective and a perfect way to give back to life, and to have mercy for those who are lost within the mind. Fishhawk Martial Arts is the perfect way to help with our children—especially our daughters, but also our sons.”
