Details:

  • Begins Monday September 12th (see schedule below)
  • Participants don’t have to buy or wear a uniform (loose fitting clothes like sweats are ok)
  • Program costs can be applied to basic membership fee’s for those individuals who decide to join during that week.
  • Students are NOT eligible to attend any advanced, sword, or mixed-level classes.
  • Cost for the entire week is $35.

Benefits:

  • Experience Aikido without the pressure of a long-term commitment
  • Meet and train with almost all the Shobu teachers (although you are invited to stick around on Tue/Thu to watch Sensei Gleason’s advanced class)
  • Meet and train with the current members who will work with you toward understanding the physical (and mental) principals of Aikido.
  • You always practice with a partner, but don’t worry – there’s no competition in Aikido, so the goal isn’t to "prove" how good you are…its cooperation for the sake of learning.

Requirements

  • No martial arts experience needed!
  • Ages 15 and older
  • In order to participate in the program, you must first watch a class! Please make sure you do that before the MONDAY of the program (so you can participate in all 4 classes!)
