Tri City Aikido Martial Arts

Established in 1996, Tri City Aikido is one of the longest-standing traditional Japanese martial arts schools in the Tri-City area (Fremont, Newark, Union City). Our program offers structured, non-competitive self-defense training for adults and children ages 4–12 in a focused and respectful environment. Students develop coordination, confidence, discipline, and practical self-defense skills through a complete curriculum that includes empty-hand techniques, ground applications, and traditional weapons training (sword, staff, and knife) — elements rarely preserved in most modern martial arts schools. Instruction emphasizes precision, control, and long-term development rather than tournaments or short-term results. Beginners are welcome, and no prior experience is required. Aikido was developed by Morihei Ueshiba (O-Sensei) and is known as “the way of harmony.” Training teaches students how to neutralize aggression while maintaining composure, awareness, and balance. The goal is not competition, but personal development through consistent, high-quality practice.
