Getting Started

Visitors are always welcome to observe classes.  Since all instructors also have another “day” job, the school generally is open only when classes are scheduled.

It’s easy to start our classes. Just start!  All classes are ongoing, so beginners can be integrated at any time. There is a short registration form. There are no contracts to sign.

Aikido:  A new student is offered a special deal of $150 for three months study (a $75 savings). See Schedule and Fee section for discounts for siblings and public school/ college students. You may also buy a uniform when you sign up for the three months, at our wholesale price.

A new Aikido student will be tutored by a senior student during regular class. Classes meet at 7pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 10am, Saturdays.
