As with all Aikido dojos, we have a monthly membership, and as a non-profit this is the main thing that sustains our organization. Our monthly membership fee is $120/mo., and for additional affordability we offer a 10% discount for Seniors, Teens, and College Students, plus an additional $5/mo. discount to those using an auto-pay method.
The following specials are offered to new students:
*If not signing up for an autopay subscription for the first trial month, you'll need to set it up after the first month or continue manually paying each month.
For beginners interested in trying Aikido with us, we offer a 4-Class Basics Sampler, which allows you to attend four of any Basics classes on our schedule within 90 days of purchase. This option allows new students to try out some classes before committing to monthly membership, which is the standard for most martial arts schools.
Our Basics classes are held on on the following days:
Note that Saturday morning classes focus on bokken (wooden sword) and jo (wooden staff) practices.
Note that the Basics Sampler does not come with a uniform, so if you do not have one you can attend classes in workout clothes. You can also purchase a uniform from us separately if in stock.
Unlike a gym or fitness studio or other kind of customer service-based organization, a traditional Japanese martial arts dojo is a place that brings people together for a special mind-body practice that is up-close, personal and demands our attention and our participation. For this reason, we encourage new students to try the 4-class Basics Sampler before committing to monthly membership.
Aikido can be viewed and practiced as a self-defense art, a conflict resolution art, a (moving) meditation, a method for stress reduction, a way to achieve a healthy and peaceful lifestyle, or a path to spiritual growth.
