Basics Class

The Basics Class is for beginners. The goal of this class is to introduce beginners to the basic ideas and moves of Aikido and to equip them with basic skills (such as how to fall and roll) that will allow them to practice techniques without fear of injury. (See photos at left.)

In this class the students also learn basic dojo etiquette, Aikido terminology, and basic exercises for developing mind and body coordination.

As soon as the instructor feels that a student is ready (usually 4-8 weeks), the student is invited to begin attending regular classes.

Still, many regular students continue to attend this class in order to strengthen their understanding of basic Aikido principles.
