Martial Arts Schools in Bainbridge Island

“Island Aikido is a welcoming, friendly, and safe place that challenges learners to push themselves physically and mentally. I’ve met many wonderful people at the dojo. Sensei Chris Mills is a force of nature with a great sense of humor, compassion, and love for teaching and aikido. Since I started my training I’ve learned tons and grown as a person as well. I’m also in excellent physical shape!“

“Justin is a fabulous Pilates instructor. He’s very good with beginners and can work around any injury. Every time my husband and I work with Justin, we feel absolutely amazing afterwards. He works with our limitations to ensure we are getting the most out of our sessions without pushing us over our limits/physical abilities - which is refreshing as I find too many Pilates and yoga instructors these days impatiently pushing students past their physical abilities too soon. Justin explains the importance of correct posture, correct breathing and can immediately help make adjustments to ensure proper alignment and proper tension for each student. His studio is very small but private and clean. His reformers and equipment are of a very high quality and operate very smoothly. My husband and I both highly recommend Justin!“

“Sifu Rick is amazing with kids! He is an excellent instructor that clearly just loves hos work. He provides a balanced approach to providing positive encouragement and still holding kids to high standards - you don’t just automatically get a sticker or move up a belt just because you showed up. My son has been attending this dojo for 2 years and is still very invested and I give credit to Sifu Rick for motivating him. Highly recommend.“
