Join us the first Saturday of every month for 30 minutes of meditation, stretching, and soji (cleaning)!

Each month these special sessions will be lead by a different person. The meditation can take any form: sitting, moving, or guided (with or without music). The cleaning, too, can be a meditation. The purpose of the meditation is to reflect on the past week's chores, our priorities, our month, and quiet our minds.

Get a jump start on your martial arts journey with this special 2-hour workshop for new and experienced adult students (ages 13+)!

The Intro to Aikido Workshop offers everything you need to get started on a journey of self-defense and self-discovery. Our skilled instructors will guide you through fundamental exercises and postures, safe falling and rolling, and self-defense techniques. We’ll also delve into aikido’s philosophy of peaceful conflict resolution. Our dojo is a safe, inclusive, and non-competitive environment. No previous experience or fitness level is needed to get started.

$65 (uniform included)

Flexibility and fitness are sometimes overlooked aspects of a standard one-hour aikido class. There’s only so much that can be covered in an hour, so we tend to give preference to technique practice.

Join us for a special workshop focused on enhancing flexibility and fitness. Stretch yourself—literally and figuratively—and go beyond what’s achievable in a one-hour class.

Students of all ranks are welcome and encouraged to attend! Sign up below.
