Introductory Classes
Introductory classes are oriented specifically towards new students. In
these classes, students learn basic Aikido movements (tai sebaki),
the art
of falling (ukemi) and techniques (waza). Some find it
intimidating to
join a dojo; the introductory classes are designed to support people with
little or no experience in Aikido or other martial arts. We also encourage
students with prior Aikido training to take these classes in order to
learn our basic techniques and methods of ukemi.
New students who train in the Introductory Classes often work with people
with three or more years of Aikido training who already understand the
basic footwork and movements.
If you cannot attend the Introductory Classes that meet on Tuesdays and
Thursdays, you are welcome to attend classes at
other times. For the first month, you will work privately with senior
students until you feel comfortable with basic Aikido skills.
