Special Offer for New Students
"An Introduction to Aikido"
First 6 weeks $95
Next 6 weeks FREE

Aikido is a very deep art, which reveals itself over a lifetime of dedicated practice. It can also quite intimidating initially, as our bodies learn how to receive techniques and fall safely.

In order to encourage newcomers to persevere through their first few months of training, we have a special offer for their first 12 weeks: the new student pays for the first half up front, and the second half is free.

This offer is only for adults (16+) joining our principle location at All Saints Parish Church Hall.

Beginners are able to participate in regular classes, since we have plenty of space and mats. However, senior students may be selected to lead beginners at a slower pace with more basic exercises in parallel to the main class.

Here is our PDF Flier, please feel free to distribute!
