Aikido of Escondido is a traditional Aikido dojo in Escondido, California, offering instruction focused on both Aiki development and self-defense. Training emphasizes timing, positioning, entering movements, blocking and avoidance, and the use of throws or holds to control an encounter through technique rather than strength. Led by Chief Instructor and Dojo-cho Kevin Kelleher, the dojo maintains a disciplined, practical approach rooted in the Japanese martial art lineage established by Morihei Ueshiba.
