Who can train?
Aikido techniques do not rely on the strength or speed of the student, but rather on timing and flowing movements, and as such can be effectively learned and applied by anyone, regardless of physical strength or stature. We are happy to have students from all backgrounds who wish to pursue Aikido training at our school. We currently offer only adult classes, but minors of age 14 or older may participate with the permission of a parent or guardian. Some Aikido training does require dynamic movement and falling to and getting up from the mat; however, our school is very safety conscious and we train our students in proper falling techniques, allowing everyone to train at a speed and intensity to maintain their safety. If you have any concerns about being able to participate in training, please contact us or stop by during class times and discuss it with us.

Rob leading Geoffrey into a high fall. In Aikido, a central part of the practice is the art of “ukeme," which includes not only how to fall safely, but how to offer one's partner something sincere to work with. Depending on a person's physical capabilities and experience, falling techniques can range from simple to advanced and from gentle to dynamic.The high fall, as pictured here, is on the dynamic end of the spectrum and is not essential to practicing Aikido.
