Class Schedule - Aikido for Adults and Children

Aikido for Adults & Teens

This is 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. These classes cover the spectrum of Aikido form including empty-handed technique, bokken and jo (wood sword and staff), freestyle, and improvisational work.

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.

Aiki Improv Jam Sessions

These are held on various Fridays (check dates). Jams focus on harmonious relational movement that is martially inspired. We explore possibilities outside the realm of traditional technique, and develop our sense of connection, fluidity, and spontaneity. Bring a spirit of playful non-resistance, and a body that wants to get involved and challenged. These are open to any adult/teen member.
