Aikido Institute Davis offers the following programs:

Aikido for Adults
All levels and all ages 15 and up are welcome. Students can attend five classes per week. We encourage a regular training schedule that includes at least three classes per week. Beginners can choose to attend the Aikido Beginners Course prior to joining general classes. In a typical class, the instructor may break the class into groups of students of similar levels and guide each group according to its pace. Classes are supplemented by seminars taught by Sensei or guest teachers during the year.

Aikido for Teens
The program is designed for teenagers from 14 to 18 years old; however, other children may be admitted upon skill evaluation. Teen students can attend three General classes per week.

Aikido for Children
The program is designed for children from 8 - 14 years old; however, other children may be admitted upon skill evaluation. Click here for more details.

Deshi (Apprentice)
This program is designed for serious students who want to commit to an intensive training regimen. Deshi are expected to attend all Aikido and Tai Chi classes. For more detail see Deshi Program.

Aikido Beginners Course
We hold 8-week introductory courses for beginners every quarter. Check the announcements on our home page for details.

Tai Chi
The Tai Chi Program includes three components: Wu Tai Chi forms (Short Form and Long Form); Chi Kung, and Push-Hands. We recommend that students attend both weekly classes and participate in all three seminars during the year.

Open Mat times are supervised mat times in which students can do their own training.

For a list of technical requirements in Aikido programs see Rank Requirements. For the requirements in the Tai Chi program see Wu Tai Chi Curriculum

All students are expected to adhere to a strict Code of Etiquette.
