​​Frequently Asked Questions:
Are there any age restrictions?
​
Anyone can train and enjoy Aikido no matter what age. Our classes hope to include special times for children soon, but for now, the minimum age we accept is 8 years old.
Do I need to buy a uniform?
​
Uniforms are not required until one decides to become a student. For those who wish to try it out first, just wear loose fitting clothing that is modest. Jewelry is not allowed on the mat for safety.
Do I need to be in good shape to practice Aikido?
Not at all! Aikido is a great way to get in shape and we practice at a level that is comfortable for everyone.

Are there competitions in Aikido?
​
Aikido is a non-competitive martial art. We do participate in seminars, but do not believe in the competitive mindset brought about by tournaments.
