• " Since starting at ADV over a year ago, I have watched my son grow into a confident, self-reliant person who can focus on and complete even the hardest of tasks.  The best part of it all is that my son loves going to class! He has made some great friends with whom he shares a lot of laughs as well as mutual respect and admiration. Thanks ADV!" T. Kleine
   
• "Our daughter Tracy has enjoyed going to Aikido of Diablo Valley for two years. As her parents, we've noticed how much Aikido has improved both her physical agility and her self esteem. Aikido has taught her important self-defense skills, emphasizing how to 'go with the flow' (rather than going on the attack). We are very pleased and now see her involvement in Aikido as an important part of her growth as a person." June and Peter M.
   
• "Aikido has contributed greatly to the emotional and physical development of our son, Jason. Through the fundamentals of Aikido, he has learned to increase his abilities to concentric and focus. He has also learned to center himself better with less mood swings." Mary and Walt L.
   
• "The art of Aikido has helped my daughter develop confidence in her abilities and has thus increased her self-esteem. Shari Dyer, the instructor, has an intuitive understanding of children and their individual needs." Debbie T.
