Aikido Schedule

Adult & Teen Aikido

For new students, please note: whenever possible we recommend students arrive, change, and get on the mat around 15 minutes before class starts in order to stretch and prepare for class on their own. Arriving late or barely on time, limits one’s ability to fully stretch and mentally prepare for class, which can make practice less safe.

Aikido Schedule Notes

COVID-19: Classes are currently COVID-19 vaccination-only for now to protect dojo members and their families who are at higher risk. Members may, of course, wear masks at any time for any reason, and have been required in the past during COVID-19 outbreaks. See the occasionally updated COVID-19 page for more details.
Aikido: All Aikido classes are included in Aikido students’ standard monthly fees. Students are encouraged to come to as many classes as they can. Classes are year-round except for select holidays and seminar weekends.
Teen students are welcome to join in all adult classes.
Outdoor practice: Saturday & Sunday classes may be outdoors at field next to school, mask optional, when weather is pleasant. We’ll usually announce that intent in advance. Bring both bokken and jo if you have them, otherwise community shared weapons are available at the school.
Open Mat: Open mat times are not formal taught classes. Members are welcome to solo or pair practice during that time, drag out the big cushy mats for break-falls, do solo or partner weapons work, etc.

Please join the listserv for up to date holiday and weather closings.

Children Aikido

The young children’s Aikido program is on pause for the time being. Mature pre-teens may be considered for practice with the teen & adult program.

Tai Chi Classes

See the Tai Chi page for more details, including the class and session schedules. We expect our Tai Chi program and class offerings to grow in the future.

Scheduled School Closings

Open Sky is closed Thanksgiving Day in November, Christmas and Christmas Eve in December, and New Year’s day in January. Usual classes are cancelled if there is a conflict during seminar weekends. To receive notices about weather closings and special events visit our contact page to join the Open Sky mailing list; in general, if nearby schools are closed or delayed for weather, or if roads are notably unsafe (iced over) for driving, we will cancel classes for safety’s sake.
