About Classes

Beginner’s Adult Class
This is an 8-week course that adults can pre-register for here. You’ll work with other beginners as well as some of our more experienced members and learn the fundamentals of Aikido that will prepare you to then move into any of the other regular open classes.

General Adult Classes
This is the regular adult class. Anyone can attend who has already gotten the basics in a beginner course or is transferring from another dojo. Both open hand and weapons are used in class. Tuesday’s focus is Kihon Waza. Thursday and Saturday are for Aikido concepts and principles.

Weapons Class
Focus on weapons: bokken, jo, and knife. You may bring your own wooden weapons or use the ones provided at the dojo. This class is for anyone who’s gotten the basics of the beginner’s course or transferring from another dojo.

Youth Class
As is our tradition, we will adjust each class to the students present, taking into account age, skill, and experience. All are welcome. New students will start with the basic techniques of the entry-level (6th kyu) and will advance as far as their efforts take them.

Special Monthly Friday Class
Usually the second Friday of each month everyone in the dojo from beginners to senior students are invited to attend class and then afterward go out to dinner together. It’s a great opportunity to bond and get to know others. Contact the dojo to find out when the next special Friday class will be.
