Evening aikido class with rotation of instructors: with Megan Palm, Karen Kustedjo, Scott Bjerke and Marco Martinez rotating in different weeks, get a feel for different perspectives of aikido.
Bokken class with Karen Kustedjo: warm up learning basics of bokken (wooden sword) movement and partner practice.
Weapons class with Dave Goldberg: in this class we work with a jo (wooden staff), normally doing partner practice.
Open mat: people can grab a training partner, ask questions, or work on whatever they want. This space is also used for exam preparation.
The membership fee is $120/month. We do offer discounts for current college/university students, active military members, and families.
Aikido for youth
Kids class: This fun, multi-dimensional class teaches kids to embody more effective and affirming ways of meeting challenges. Through Aikido, and related games and activities, children learn to frame themselves better and connect to their positive powers. They have fun, and practice skills for safety, self-awareness, and more centered action.
Teens class: Teens need their own space and attention, and now we have a new class just for them! In this class we go deeper into the embodiment of Aikido technique and principle. Our focus is on how appropriately and effectively adolescents frame themselves and extend energy when challenged.
Teen membership: can attend teens classes and open mat for $100/month
Kids membership: can attend kids classes for $90/month
We offer discounts to current college/university students, military, and families.
