Our school from the inside
Step 1: Take a trial class
You are always welcome for a free trial class. It is enough to let the instructor know before the class starts, so you can get acquainted. Special clothing is not required. Long, comfortable trousers (tracksuit bottoms) and a T-shirt (no vest) are fine. Bring a pair of slippers to walk from the changing room to the hall. (Aikido is practised barefoot.)
Step 2: Register
After your free trial class you can choose to register with our school. You do this simply by filling in the online registration form. All practical information, such as the class times and the fees, can be found on this site. Once you are registered, you are warmly welcome to take part in the classes!
Step 3: Get an aikido suit
The next step is getting an aikido suit (gi). This gives you the freedom of movement and comfort you need during classes. You can buy a gi through us, via a marketplace site or in a shop. In the early stages your trial-class clothing is fine, but we recommend getting your gi within a few weeks of starting.
You are now an aikidoka!
