Sample 1.5 Hour Session Schedule

Below you will find a sample schedule of a 2 hour training session.

Aikido Basic Techniques
At this time we will review some of the Aikido basic techniques. The focus will be on proper posture and application of the techniques. These techniques should be done slowly and mindfully at first building in intensity as we warm up. This allows our bodies to continue to warm up preparing it for more intense techniques later in the session. 

1:00 - 1:30
Aikido Technique of the month
Each month we will concentrate on learning and refining a specific basic Aikido technique. This technique will be covered from all forms of attack and all variations.

1:30 - 1:45
Ukemi Practice
At this point we will either specific work on taking falls or we will incorporate a technique in which the focus is on uke rather than nage.

1:45 - 1:55
Free form / Randori style Aikido Techniques
At this point we will practice a more free form and /or randori style of Aikido. This is designed to learn how to make use of the basic Aikido lessons we have practiced. The idea here is to simulate real situations and learn how the basic Aikido techniques can be expanded upon to be used in street situations.
