Getting Started is simple!

Each person begins training in the way that is most appropriate for them. Listed below are several different ways to start.

Observing class

You may observe any scheduled classes in our dojo. There is no need to make an appointment. No class is “typical” so we encourage you to watch several different classes.Click here for more information on observing classes.

Just start

You may join our regular adult aikido classes at any time. During our regular classes, you will be paired up with an instructor or senior students for your first half-dozen classes for general orientation and to begin working on basics. You will join in with the other members with some adjustments and coaching depending on your progress.
