Kokikai Aikido Class

Aikido is a fun way to learn effective self-defense in a safe environment. You will learn how to easily protect yourself from strong attackers while improving your awareness and reflexes. Our methods of instruction have been developed for men and women of all ages, body types and athletic abilities. Just bring your curiosity and comfortable exercise clothing. 

Learn Aikido from Eric Horlbeck, an experienced 6th dan (degree black belt) instructor. 

Our dojo is affiliated with Aikido Kokikai International

Your First Visit:

Walk-ins are welcome. You don't need to contact us first. Just come to any class listed on this page.

Arrive a few minutes early so we can say hello and show you around before class starts.

Wear loose, comfortable clothes you can move in, like sweatpants and a t-shirt. No uniform needed. We practice barefoot on mats. Please remove jewelry and watches.

Jump in on your first day. Your first class is $20, and you'll get much more out of trying it than watching. If you'd rather just watch first, that's welcome too, at no charge.

No experience or special fitness needed. Classes start with warm-ups, and you'll learn to fall safely before anything else. Beginners practice with experienced students who look out for them.

No competition. Everyone works at their own pace, and the goal is to improve yourself, not to beat anyone.
