AIKIDO

A Japanese martial art of blending with an attack rather than meeting it head on. Aikido teaches harmony, balance and respect — on the mat and off it.

CLASS SCHEDULE

More than a martial art

The Greater Hartford Aikikai is a welcoming community dedicated to the study and practice of aikido. Techniques rely on relaxed energy projected from the rotation of the hips rather than on strength, which is why people of very different sizes and ages train together on the same mat.

We have taught here since 1994, and every class is open to beginners. Come and watch one, or step on the mat the same day.

ABOUT OUR DOJO

Joining the dojo

Classes are open to men and women age 15 and up. No martial arts experience is needed, and no one is expected to be fit or flexible before starting.

If you are not ready to become a member, the mat fee lets you take any class and covers every class that day. Loose workout clothes are fine for your first few practices.
