Curious about Aikido but not sure where to start? Our Adult Beginner’s Class is the perfect way to try it out in a welcoming, supportive environment. Over six weeks, you’ll learn the foundations of Aikido—posture, movement, and basic techniques—while building confidence, improving fitness, and reducing stress.

No experience or equipment is necessary. Just wear loose clothing that covers the knees and elbows, and bring an open mind.

Schedule: Wednesdays, 7:00–8:00 pm
Cost: $100 for 6 classes

What is Aikido?

Aikido is a traditional none-competitive Japanese martial art that focuses on blending and re-directing your partner's energy to create a positive outcome. Individuals work at their own pace in a cooperative and harmonious environment.
