Class Schedule - Aikido for Adults and Children

Aikido for Adults & Teens

It is what it says—our general class open to all adult/teen members. Practice focuses on forging skills in body and mind, applying and receiving Aikido technique, falling skills, Aikido principles, and authentic embodiment. Basics transition into more complex work as it's appropriately needed. More experienced students gladly pair themselves with beginners to help out with the basics.

Classes w/Sticks

This class is open to adult/teen members. It includes the work we do with the traditional Aikido weapons system, and our ongoing creative exploration through the use of implements in our training. We primarily use the wooden staff and sword, but our work is not limited to that.

Open Mat

This is a space before classes for people to put extra time into their training needs. Work on material for your next exam, ask Sensei any of your questions, or just play around with others. Beginners are encouraged to take advantage of it. On Sundays our members self-organize the open training (usually in mid afternoon). New members who want some extra support on Sundays may arrange for more experienced members to meet them before the open mat. Open mat sessions are only for adult members.

Improvisational Jam Sessions

These are held on various Fridays (check dates). Improvisational Jams focus on harmonious relational movement that is martially inspired. We explore our sense of connection, fluidity, and spontaneity outside the realm of Aikido form and technique. Bring a spirit of playful non-resistance, and a body that wants to get involved. Anyone who wants to get loose, connected, and creative may join a session.
