About
Bridgetown Aikido offers ongoing Aikido classes, including beginner-friendly options, for adults, teenagers, and children. Classes include a 5-minute group warm up followed by practice for the rest of the hour, with activities such as learning ukemi, the art of falling. The program also offers a Saturday family class and a free trial class for new students.
• Ages: 5–18 years old
• Schedule: Free trial class options on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with the choice of regular classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays or the Saturday family class
Bridgetown Aikido is led by Kato Sensei and Frager Sensei. The program states that no experience is needed, all levels are welcome, and its style of teaching allows students to progress at their own pace. Training is described as non-competitive and takes place in a supportive community, with Aikido practiced as a non-aggressive martial art based on blending with an attack and redirecting it instead of harming or injuring one’s opponent. For the first class, students may wear loose pants and a t-shirt that are comfortable for falling and rolling, and a standard keikogi uniform is available for purchase from the dojo. Bridgetown Aikido is affiliated with Aikikai Hombu Dojo (Aikido World Headquarters) in Japan. The program shares the quote, “I want considerate people to listen to the voice of Aikido. It is not for correcting others; it is for correcting your own mind,” by Morihei Ueshiba.
