Beginner Aikido for Adults

About Aikido

The Beginner program is designed to be very "user friendly". New students train in the designated beginner classes where they focus on the basics of body mechanics, footwork, forward and backward rolls, and a very limited number of basic techniques. The other students in the class are all at the same level so the pace of the class is very gradual and the student receives the maximum possible personal attention. Men and women of all ages are encouraged to try this out. After approximately three months of training the student should be ready, by permission of the instructors, to take the first rank test. Upon passing that test, the student is eligible to attend the open level classes listed on the schedule.

Classes are taught by the senior instructors of Aikido Eastside. Please feel free to come and watch class on either Tuesday or Thursday night between 6:00 pm and 7:00 pm.

We do have a new student sign up special. Enroll for three months up front and you receive your uniform and a wooden sword and staff for free. Ask the class instructors about this offer.
