Next beginners class starts in January 2022.
Albuquerque Aikikai is now open for fully vaccinated beginners to join the dojo. If you missed the start of beginners class, there may still be time to join us. If you have previous martial-arts experience and are interested in starting before the next basics class, please contact us for more information or come on in and visit the dojo. Please read our COVID-19 protocols. We will request proof of vaccination when you come into the dojo for the first time.
Our next formal beginners' class starts in January:
Albuquerque Aikikai offers an introductory 8-week course for adults several times each year. This is an ideal way for new people to learn the basics of Aikido or for returning martial artists to refresh their knowledge. The classes covers body positioning, forward and backward rolls (ukemi), and basic attacks and techniques. Classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00-7:00 pm.
The $100 fee includes two months of classes (Tuesdays and Thursday with optional Friday basic movement classes) and a lightweight training uniform. You may upgrade to a heavy gi for an additional $30. Stop by the dojo to register, or fill out our online registration form. You may then return to this page to pay through PayPal or come by the dojo to pay in person and collect your uniform. We can accept cash, check or Paypal.
Low-impact body movement classes
Albuquerque Aikikai offers a special membership tier of $50 per month (plus the one-time cost of a uniform if you don't have one) for people who wish to only participate in the low-impact body movements classes on Mondays and Fridays. Please inquire if you wish to join these classes. Mondays often focus on tai chi while Fridays are usually dedicated to basic Aikido body movements (with no falls) or mindfulness.
