Benefits of Aikido

Exercise your Ki!

With Aikido's unique training style you can practice to create and harness your ki (powerful life force). Unlike other arts, this energy work happens not in a kata or ritualized form but with fun one-on-one training.

Its like sparring but without any competition, so everyone -- women or men, young or old, large or small -- can practice safely together.

How to Join

For people new to Aikido, joining a class can be both exciting and nervewracking. There are many options available to help make the transition to regular class easier.

The Shobu Beginner's Program is an 8-week program designed for new students with no Aikido experience. Aikido basics are stressed with a focus on martial art fundamentals. At the end of the program, or before, students will be prepared to enter regular Aikido classes. A new program starts the first saturday of every month. Please sign-up and join us!

View the How To Join section for options for non-experienced and experienced aikidoka alike.
