I have no martial arts experience, can I come practice?

Absolutely! No martial arts experience is needed in order to learn Aikido.

What do I wear to my first class?

If you enrolled in our special three-month introductory package, a training uniform is included and will be given to you on your first class. In the rare case that we don’t have your size available on your first class, we recommend wearing loose, comfortable workout-style clothing. Choose something you can move easily in, but be sure to wear pants that fall below your knees to avoid mat burn.

I have a bad knee/back/hip/[insert your own phrase here]. Can I still do Aikido?

Of course. Aikido is well suited towards men and women of all ages and all athletic abilities. If you have any concerns, please let us know. We encourage each student to take the lessons at his or her own pace and will work with you to make sure you feel comfortable performing the exercises and techniques demonstrated in class.
