Class Descriptions

Adult Aikido: A mixed level class focused on development of basic technique and an introduction to applied and changing technique. Available to all adult Aikido students.

Cardio Kihon ("Sweatin' to the Oldies") This class is open to students ranked 6th kyu or higher. This is the place to develop your breathing and solidify your command of kihon waza. It will give you a great workout while you practice test techniques.

Children's Aikido: A class designed for children (7-12 years) integrating principles of character development and authentic Aikido techniques

Ikebana: An ongoing class teaching the contemplative art of Japanese flower arrangement - Registration and additional fees required

Advanced Class This class is offered in the 6 pm slot on the first Friday of every month. For every student 4th kyu and above, you are expected to attend this class as often as you are able. Here, you'll be challenged to maintain zanshin, strengthen your ukemi, and increase your technical skill.

Zazen: It is our intent with this class to explore in greater detail all of the traditional training forms of Rinzai Zen inherited from our lineage. The class will focus on seated and walking meditation (zazen and kinhin), Zen exercises to improve meditation posture, breathing exercises to activate the hara (center of energetic strength located in the lower abdomen), and Zen calligraphy (hitsuzendo). Other practices such as chanting, tea ceremony, hojo (sword training), and meditation through manual labor and meals will also be explored from time to time.
