Taijutsu (Body Arts)

Taijutsu or body arts, are Aikido techniques that are performed empty-handed and completed with a training partner. Most techniques finish with a gentle pin or throw, with one partner taking a safe forward or backward roll.

Aiki-Ken and Aiki-Jo (Weapons)

Weapons Training or Buki-waza (tools of the way) practices involve a wooden sword (Aiki-ken or bokken) or a wooden staff (Aiki -Jo). These practices are fun, challenging and are very helpful if you have a physical condition or injury that might prohibit you from practicing body arts. They are directly linked to the body arts so you will be learning the key fundamentals of Aikido without taking falls or rolls. We provide both bokken and jo if you do not have your own.

Aikido Foundations

This is not just a drop-in class; it is a “progressive defined approach” to learning the art. We have designed this course to help you get off to a good start in your Aikido journey by focusing on the essentials in a low-pressure setting.

Whether you have zero martial arts experience or are dusting off an old gi, this class offers a clear path toward your first belt test (5th Kyu). We will cover proper stances, etiquette, vocabulary, foundational techniques, and how to fall and roll safely (ukemi).
