Regardless of what day you choose, we're always welcoming to new students. You'll be paired with a senior student that will help with any questions.
If you find jumping in intimidating, the first Monday of every month is a dedicated beginner's class. This class always covers basics in detail, and doesn't move too quickly.
Nothing! All you need to do is show up 10-15 minutes before class to introduce yourself.
What do I wear
Clothes you're comfortable moving in, such as sweats or tights and a t-shirt. Keep in mind that there's a lot of movement, some rolling, and grabbing so plan accordingly.
how do you train
We typically have a warm-up, do some 'games' that teach principles, review techniques, and have 'free practice'. For more detail, see here.
If you enjoy the trial classes, becoming a student of Meiwakan Aikido is as easy as continuing to show up. We have an introductory rate for new students, $50 / month for the first two months. If you'd like to become a member, please send us an email.
