Very clean and safe place to practice Aikido. Great and respectful teachers with attention to details. Sensei is passionate about Aikido and knows how to work with kids and adults. He sees level of every student well, and provides continuous feedback to them during training. This helps every student to practice at their ability and grow their skills as fast as they can. This dojo is very spacious. This allows students to practice at a safe distance during pandemic. Highly recommend to everyone.

Aikido by the Bay is great place were to go, the atmosphere in there is very welcoming. All it's members are very friendly, and Daniel Sensei is great!
I simply love this place - and I barely put 5 stars in my reviews. I was hesitant to start at the middle age and was impressed by the warmth atmosphere. Daniel Sensei has a unique mix of professionalism (in fact, he came from a corporate world) and a great personality. He attracted a crowd of black belts who help to teach and do their best to accommodate new people. That is why I think this place is especially good for new comers. Besides classical martial arts Aikido, Daniel also teaches the self defense classes (like the one he gave to my daughter through girl scouts) and the real world core classes. I highly recommend this place - just stop by and see yourself.
I’ve practiced Aikido off and on at four dojos over the past 37 years and have never before seen such an effective and caring Aikido teacher. Daniel-sensei, along with help from his senior students, has created a dojo that encourages all types of people to explore and develop with a safe, family-like atmosphere. It doesn’t matter if you’re 7 or 70, an athlete or a couch potato, Aikido by the Bay is a welcoming environment for everybody. As an example, my daughter tried Aikido for the first time recently and really had a blast. She was talking about it for days afterwards and making plans to take more Aikido classes (although she lives too far away to regularly attend in San Mateo). This is typical of the effect that Daniel has on people. Daniel is a true expert that lives and breathes Aikido every minute, but he also has great empathy for beginners and all other levels in between. He is able to instantly analyze what each student is doing and offer individualized advice on how to improve without too many corrections that become a burden. He understands the raw joy of learning and improving ourselves that many of us have forgotten in the rush of our daily lives. Whether you’re looking to try something new and different or already have years of experience, I highly recommend Aikido by the Bay!
My two daughters and I have been training with Daniel Brasse since 2013. He's a passionate, gifted and charismatic instructor. The place has a warm, friendly, family-like atmosphere for both kids and adult classes. Without being competitive or aggressive Aikido has boosted my daughters' self confidence and awareness. The adult classes are great for all ages (our newest member is 70yo) and backgrounds (I danced ballet for 26 years), no previous martial arts experience required. Aikido has something for everyone - self-defence skills, physical fitness, self-confidence, self-awareness, and more - depends on what you're looking for. I recommend to just drop by and check out the Dojo.
