If you would like to try a class, just show up about 20 minutes beforehand and ask one of the waiting students or instructors about taking a class. New students are welcome to any of the general classes. You do not have to call ahead or make other arrangements. Because aikido is based on balance and circular movement, strength and size is not particularly important in training. One unique feature of aikido training is the mixing of all skill levels.
Showers are available in both the men's and women's changing rooms.
Typically we train in bare feet, on a canvas-covered mat. Membership dues, plus an annual fee to the U.S. Aikido Federation. If you do not become a member you will pay a per-visit mat fee. New or prospective members may take three classes free of charge. There are no hidden fees, term limits or contracts.
