"Rob is a patient calm & engaged martial arts trainer. Overall our experience at Griffin Aikido was a positive one. Thanks Rob"
"I was most impressed with the way Rob worked with my son and his friend during their first lesson of Aikido. The boys absolutely loved it and were most excited about continuing. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you for the wonderful lesson. Leanne"
"Rob is such an attuned instructor. He is patient, kind and fun with the kids, and facilitates a respectful environment, where each participant is valued and encouraged in their differing skill levels and experience. Both my children have enjoyed his classes - for learning Aikido (and are in awe at what Rob can do!), as well as being part of a group that is helping them learn larger life skills and awareness of their bodies and minds. Highly recommend!"
"Such a great Aikido dojo. Sensei Rob is an excellent teacher and really understands how to pass on his knowledge to students. I have trained there for years and now my kids are training there too. If you or your kids want to learn a non aggressive approach to martial arts and self defense, in a safe and encouraging environment, then you should really pay Griffin Aikido a visit and give it a try."
"Griffin Aikido is a true gem, right in the heart of Blackwood. We have been sending our 8 year old son to classes for over 2 years and we have found Sensei Rob and his team to be welcoming and professional, honestly they are inspirational. We also sent our son and 11 year old daughter to the Griffin Aikido vacation programs this year. Our kids not only learn how to defend themselves and others, but more so, at a deeper level, they are learning how to be powerful in a calm, caring and considerate way... I have no hesitation in recommending Griffin Aikido and I even hear that more programs in Aikido, dance and music might be around the corner... :)"
