Aikido For Defense, Aikido For The Mind, Aikido For The Spirit

Welcome to Tri City Aikido!  martial arts academy, the largest Aikido school in the Tri City area with over 2000 ff ²of training area. We "Specialize" in the art of Aikido. Tri City Aikido has been doing business in the Fremont area for over a decade.

During those years, people of all ages and ability have been coming to us to be educated in the martial art of Aikido.

Modern Aikido was founded in Japan by Morihei Ueshiba, ("Ōsensei). Aikido is relatively new, just being introduced after World War II. The physical roots comes from Aikijujutsu (Japanese Jujutsu), this would be evident by the throws and joints locks that are common in Aikido's practice. If one could get past the physical practice, you would be able to see Spiritual dimension to the art supported by ethical principals to build and maintain a strog and respecable character as you would have found the ancient Samurai of Japan centuries ago.

At tri City Aikido you will study Four martial arts; Taijitsu (empty hand), Kenjitsu (sword), Jojitsu (staff), and Tantojitsu (knife). This is all done in a traditional & peaceful environment. Our dojo (school) places the same emphasis on Japanese terminology and etiquette you would find in Japan or in any authentic training facility around the world.

Aikido's physical movements are based on non-resistance. You might say it's a lot like bull fighting. If you're finished.

So like a Matador, we will teach you to move the force of the bulls'shorns without running away from the situation.

The practice of Aikido is of a non-competive nature. The focus is on training, not fighting. Acual fighting is only done as a last resort in martial arts. Training with us involves the forging of the body, educating the mid and the enlighting of the spirit.

Aikido has become required training for law enforcement officiers all over the world for protection. Why? Officiers need "Multiple choice options" when dealing wth "Real" situations. Anthony Campana Sensei, Chief instructor, has had the privilege to train officiers of most branches throughout the years. Effective ad practical results are high priorities for our peace officiers and we do our best to supply them.

Tri City Aikido has had the pleasure of attracting two longtime Aikido practioners to its teaching staff; John Rekardt with about eighteen years experience and Jor Amster with about twelve.

Now what? The first step is to come in and view a class. You will see that our facility is spacious and clean.
