This page explains what to expect in your first class so you can decide if this way of training feels right for you.
What training doesn't look like here
You won’t be thrown, rushed, or asked to do anything intense. There’s no sparring, no pain‑based learning, and no pressure to be confident on day one.
Aiki starts with slow, steady connection — relaxed contact, simple movement, and a partner who supports you. Everything is calm, safe, and at a pace that feels comfortable.
This isn't about fighting or overpowering anyone
There’s no sparring, no competition, and no pressure to be tough. Aiki removes conflict from the interaction — you learn through calm connection, not force.
What you will learn first
Your first lessons focus on intent, balance, and calm connection — the foundations of Aiki. Everything is introduced gently, with time to feel how movement can emerge without conflict.
What a class feels like
Training is cooperative. You’ll explore Aiki principles with different partners, learning how movement can emerge without conflict or force. There’s no pressure to perform — just steady, shared practice.
