### Registration and more information
Why Would I Train in Aikido?
There are many possible answers! Here are a few:
Aikido offers a path for fitness, self-improvement, community, and play.
Aikido uncovers and entrains alternatives to fight/flight/freeze responses in conflict.
Aikido can be an embodied critique of the idea that if I win, someone else must lose.
Class Structure
Classes meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. You are also welcome to join the Sunday 11:30am class with the "Introductory Series" membership, though it may feel less accessible until you’ve been training for a little bit.
You’ll receive a training uniform (dogi) and some auxiliary materials as the class progresses. It is our hope that this series will provide a foundation for understanding aikido’s place in the world, and—if it fits—in yours as well!
