What Akiko's clients are saying....
"It was fate! After years of doing a mindless cardio workout at the gym on the elliptical I was ready for a new workout routine, and I happened to be at the gym the same time as Akiko. I'm so grateful for that encounter as it lead me to not only a better workout routine, but mixing in the MMA training works different parts of my body and forces me to focus giving my mind a workout too! Extremely qualified with diverse workout routines I highly recommend you mix up your exercise routine with Akiko, your mind and body will thank you."

"Akiko has been helped me achieve my goals so far, and I enjoy our sessions. She makes it fun and enjoyable to train. She is encouraging and helps me to dig deep and keep going. I appreciate her dedication to her craft. Also, as a military veteran with injuries, it is important to have a trainer who can work within my limitations. If motivation, flexibility, and a personal approach is what your looking for in a trainer then Akiko is the one for you."​

"Akiko is a wonderful trainer, coach, and mentor. Coming with zero self-defense or martial arts experience, Akiko made me feel comfortable and excited about learning an entirely new sport. Her positive energy and attention to technique encourages women to feel strong, empowered, and confident in their ability to protect themselves in vulnerable situations. Her classes are both challenging and extremely fun. The workouts leave you feeling strong as you learn self-defense tactics and strengthen your core."​

I’ve been training with her for a year and a half and in that time I’ve lost fat, gained strength, and increased my endurance.
