These classes are ideal for both beginners and advanced students alike. The classes covers basic techniques and attacks. Students are taught how to take ukemi (breakfalls) and other important aspects particular to aikido, such as shikko (knee-walking).
There is no competition in aikido. A students development is a personal journey in which they learn to explore their boundaries at their own pace. After the teacher has demonstrated a technique, students practice in pairs exploring the technique from the point of view of both attacker and defender. As the defender one learns to redirect an aggressors energy, primarily through circular movements, in order to harmonize and disperse it. As the attacker you will learn to protect yourself and fall safely while simultaneously allowing your partner to apply their technique more faithfully.
As a new student, your first three months of training will be exciting, challenging, and sometimes daunting. This is normal and everyone around you has been through precisely the same joys and doubts.
For your first time on the mat, wear loose, comfortable clothing, such as tracksuit bottoms and t-shirt. No special footwear is necessary; training is always barefoot.
