What People Say

“I thank Sand Drift Aikido for always showing hospitality and a passion for any and all students. I remember being 5th Kyu and totally lost. All you instructors took me in and helped me to what I am today as an Aikido Instructor.”

Marshall Bryant

Central Florida Aikikai


“I just love Sand Drift! I knew nothing but everyone welcomed me and there are other ladies that train as well. I’m learning great skills, defense and a full body workout. I also love that every one becomes a family and we do potlucks and some get togethers.The facility is really nice and clean, the changing rooms are separate so there is full privacy as well."

Heather Fabulous

“I am a new student here for mental concentration and physical activity. I am happy with both. The instructors and other students are great in learning new techniques and in manageable steps. I am very satisfied with the dojo cleanliness. I do enjoy Aikido and learning from the vast experience available. Please visit or call, I started with my free class!!!”
