How to get started

Everyone is welcome to come and try aikido. All the sessions are suitable for beginners, and they vary in length from one hour to two hours, so the choice is yours!

If you already have a set of martial arts clothing from karate, judo, tae kwon do or another discipline, you can wear that until you have aikido kit. Otherwise, come in loose cotton clothing that allows you to move freely. Changing rooms are available at the venue; please bring some slippers or flip-flops to wear from the changing rooms to the mats. Practice on the mats is barefoot, so for hygiene reasons no shoes are worn on the mats, and we don’t walk barefoot off the mats.
