It really is impressive to watch the seamless switch between handling different age groups. Each class feels really appropriate for the student's level. The studio is comfortable, the environment is friendly, and our kids really do learn a lot of valuable life skills beyond hitting an opponent. There has been a huge confidence and positive attitude boost from all 3 of our kids attending classes as compared to when they first started (some needed it more). I have seen progressive improvements in other students as well. I do wish I would have had the chance to meet Master Marvil. His legacy feels like it lives on here, even though I have only seen pictures and heard stories. We will never force our kids to continue studying martial arts. They do have the choice of other activities in it's place, but all 3 continue to stay and advance through the belt levels here and hope to do so for the years to come. One day, I may have to start attending classes myself. Although, I did always want to attend a rival school so I can face my children in a competition cobra kai style, but I'll hold for now.

Cecilia is a very good teacher and very talented…read more I trained about 15 years ago with Cecilia back when the dojo was near my house in Germantown. I quit once they moved the dojo, due to my own laziness/apathy. I was 17 years old at the time and I only got to blue belt level. I never thought I would actually use Aikido in real life, especially because it seemed like it would be of limited utility against a real attacker. I don't think that Aikido is a very powerful marshal art if you are up against someone who really knows how to fight. But on the few occasions in my life so far where I've had to use it, it has literally saved my life. About 7 years ago, I was on the ground with three attackers about to kick my head in. Without even thinking, I naturally got into a lying-down defensive posture with legs poised to grab someone's neck. These thugs screamed "He knows how to fight! Run!" If they had not gotten scared, I am quite sure I would not have been able to withstand the attack. About 3 years ago, my wife was choking me to death, and at the last moment, when I realized I had only seconds to act, I instinctively put her wrist in a "nikyo" lock that broke me free. I was so glad that Cecilia had us practice being choked! And yes, I did press charges on my wife. Because I did not fight back while she was abusing me, she had no injuries, and therefore she went to jail, not me. Had my training been in a more "offense" based marshal art, I might have inflicted visible injuries on her, or even broken her bones, out of instinct, and then I might have been the one in jail. As a person who is not at all the fighter type, Aikido was perfect for me. And it was really fun training.
