Get Started in Aikido – Request a Trial Lesson

Please let us know more about you by answering the following questions. This is an informal interview. Aikido is not for everyone. Based on your responses you may be invited for a trial lesson.

Your Name (required)

Your Email (required)

*Please enter your email carefully so we can reply to you. You should get an automatic reply within a few minutes of sending this form. If you don't, please confirm your email again, or check your filtered-email folders.

Your Phone number (required)

Are you 18 years of age or older?
Yes, I am.

Do you have any martial arts experience? If so, what and when?

What is the appeal of Aikido?

As far as you know, why don't Aikido practitioners punch, kick and injure our attackers (vs. a ’striking art’ like Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Kickboxing etc.)?

Aikido is a deadly Art. Historically it is so deadly that each movement is designed to inflict maximum and permanent damage to an attacker. It takes a strong mind to train with this mentality and at the same time be relaxed and keep your partner safe. Why do you think you are able to train with this duality?

Are you in good physical shape and relatively free of injury and sickness including, but not limited to, arthritis, osteoporosis, heart disease, moderate asthma and/or high/low blood-pressure?

Aikido itself is very graceful, but not intended to be an exercise solution. What exercise regiment do you have that can supplement your Aikido training (e.g. running, swimming, yoga etc.)?

Aikido takes much practice before you can move/immobilize attackers effortlessly. Are you able to dedicate at least 4 months x 2 days a week to this Art to give it a fair try?
 Yes No

Please tell us something else about yourself so we can better know you.

  • Aikido Competitions


    We say that Aikido has no competition as this martial art has many dangerous techniques, perhaps more so than any other martial art. Be it the joint or Kansetsu movement or striking or Ate movement, Aikido is exceptional for self-defense and hence has no competition. Due to so many dangerous techniques, no competitions are organized in Aikido as the results could be really dangerous and even result in death.

  • Aikido History in Japan


    The year 1942 is often cited as the beginning of modern aikido. It was at that time that the Dai Nihon Butokukai, desiring to achieve a standardization in teaching methodology and nomenclature for modern Japanese martial arts, reached an agreement with the Kobukai representative Minoru Hirai to call the jujutsu form developed by Morihei Ueshiba aikido. Thus, AIKI BUDO joined the ranks of judo, kendo, kyudo and other modern martial arts.

  • Aikido Kobayashi Dojo


    Aikido Kobayashi Dojo is an organization founded by Kobayashi Yasuo Dojocho (head of the dojo) in April 1969 at Gakuen-Higashi-cho in Kodaira-city, Japan. With the ideal of spreading aikido to many, they strive to instruct aikido to many. Also, the uchideshi (live-in training) program of the dojo fosters many aikido instructors. Masa Kokoro Aikido and Ben Lim Sensei are directly affiliated with them.
