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). They may also buy a uniform when they sign up for the three months, for only $10.

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

Child/ Parent Aikido:  The class meets at noon, every Saturday. Fees are $25 a month for the child, and $20 for the parent.  Students can purchase a uniform from the school, or wear a sweatsuit.

T’ai Chi Ch’uan:  There are two beginning classes every Saturday: at 10am, and at 12:30pm, a class for intermediate students meets at 11am, Saturdays. Students will begin learning the Form. Fee is $40 a month.  All students wear clothing they can move freely in. Footwear is either the cloth-bottom Chinese shoes, or socks.

Jodo: Classes meet every Wednesday at 6:30pm. New students will begin learning basic movements both solo and with a partner. The fee is $40 a month.  Students can wear either a sweatsuit or a lightweight practice uniform purchased at the school. Bare feet.
