Intro to Aikido
For New Adult Students
An introduction to fundamental principles, techniques, and philosophy of Aikido: “The Way of Harmony.”
Discover your ability to blend, flow, center under pressure, and expand your spirit. Classes include an introduction to Aikido’s safe falling and rolling methods and an orientation to traditional Dojo etiquette. Aikido classes are structured for focused, cooperative learning. Each person is encouraged to explore Aikido at their own pace and is guided by experienced instructors in a supportive, non-competitive dojo environment.
Classes are held:
Saturday mornings: 9:00 - 10:15 AM
Wednesday evenings: 6:00 - 7:15 PM
Classes are ongoing, and new students are welcome at any time. Try the first week for free, then join our Dojo at a special discount rate of $60/month for the first two months. This includes the introductory classes and access to any other Adult classes, with the exception of the Advanced Class.
For the first month, you will have two Intro Classes per week, a copy of the acclaimed book Journey to the Heart of Aikido by senior teacher Linda Holiday, and access to most other adult weekly classes. We offer twelve Adult Aikido Classes each week, which makes it easy to create your own schedule.
In the following month of your membership, you will continue to have access to unlimited Aikido Classes.
After your first two months your membership will continue at the normal Adult rate of $115/month for unlimited classes. You can cancel at any time.
“Aikido is not a technique to fight with or defeat an enemy. It is a way to reconcile the world and make humanity one family.”
- Morihei Ueshiba, O-Sensei, founder of Aikido
