Aikido of Diablo Valley regularly hosts workshops and seminars taught by instructors from other martial arts. The exposure to other styles helps students think and practice "outside the box" but they can also see how seemingly different arts share a common foundation. As part of the cross training program we also attend retreats or training sessions with schools from other martial styles. Our training partners have included:

• Yanagi Ryu aiki Bugei with Don Angier, soke and Jeremy Breazeale sensei.
• Juyushinkai Aikibudo with C.E. Clark sensei and Toby Hill sensei.
• Tsu Kage Ryu with Michael Ayers shihan and Bill Stefanacci sensei.
• Gauangi Martial Arts / Tyrrell Academy with Sifu Pat Tyrrell.
• Mark Miller sensei. Weapons training workshops.
