Considering Aikido?

People of all ages and sizes, and of all levels of physical fitness and athletic ability can benefit from Aikido. Give us a call or drop by to watch a class; visitors are always welcome.

We offer 4-week introductory courses for beginners. You will be taught some basic techniques and basic falling (ukemi) so that you will be able to train safely. You won’t need a uniform (gi) for the intro course, just some loose, comfortable clothing. Please see the schedule for introductory class times and give us a call if you would like to take part in an introductory course.

New 4-week sessions start at the beginning of each month. The cost of each 4-week session is $50.

Introductory classes are offered at the following times:

Monday, 7-8am

Tuesday, 6-7pm

Wednesday, 7:15-8:15pm

Thursday, 12:30-1:30pm

Saturday, 12:45-1:45pm

We follow a certain amount of etiquette in the dojo, which you will pick up over time. Senior students are there to help you and questions are encouraged. If it will make you feel more comfortable, you can check out some basic etiquette here.
