Martial arts have been a major factor in my life since the age of 4. After years of training alone, my father and I decided to look for a martial art we could take together, and found Aikido. After being welcomed into the school and talking with Scott Sensei we both looked at each other on the walk back to the car. "That's the place," we agreed. Aikido of Virginia Beach is more than a dojo, it's a family. And nothing has such a profound and positive influence on a teenager as a close family right? Right. - DB

| I'd endured some rough times before moving back to Virginia and returning to Aikido. When I first stumbled back into the dojo, little did I know what I had landed on; the more I attended, the more my love for the dojo grew, and the more I wanted to give to it. What I didn't see is what it was giving back to me. In the short time I have been here, I have received support from Sensei and other aikidoka to have the strength to get back on my feet and get my life straight. Aikido of Virginia Beach is so much more than what you visually see; we are a family of great people and wonderful friends brought together by the fortune of this incredible, exhilarating place. - IS

Few regions are fortunate to have as authentic and traditional a dojo as this, Aikido of Virginia Beach, and as masterful and experienced a dojo-cho as Scott Tomlin Sensei. Instead of a simple training ground designed to expose students to various facets of a martial art, Scott Sensei has created a rigorous program based on formal Japanese values and Iwama heritage. I consider myself lucky to train in and belong to such a school, where friendship and sense of family bond everyone well beyond the walls of the dojo. - WJB |
| I can say with no reservation that my instruction at Aikido of Virginia Beach far exceeds anything I've witnessed [elsewhere]. - BB |
| Under your guidance and care, [my son] has developed skills apart from the obvious physical prowess that have served to make him a more rounded human being...I value what I see you give to all of your students, particularly the younger ones. You are able to give each of them the kind of guidance, care and discipline that benefits all of us. You have a special gift, which you are able to share with so many fortunate people who come into your dojo. - CB |
| Thank you so very much for opening up your dojo to us. We are also looking forward to more seminars hosted by Aikido of Virginia Beach. - MZ, AM, and TC |
| After my father passed away it wasn't long until I came into contact with you and was able to find some things that I still cannot totally explain. |
