Introductory Course

This course offers beginners an introduction to the basic movements, strategy, and principles of Daito-ryu as practiced by Takumakai. It consists of four highly structured lessons conducted on four Saturdays from 4-5:30PM. The first lesson is free and open to the public. It is our intent to provide interested students with an opportunity to explore Daito-ryu and get to know us and our dojo. Previous experience is not necessary.

Topics covered will include:
1. Taisabaki (basic body movement)
2. Ukemi (rolling)
3. Fundamental aiki waza and its application (internal energy exercises)
4. Basic techniques from the hiden mokuroku ikkajo (first level of techniques)

At the end of the first lesson, attendees will decide if they wish to complete the enrollment process and continue training. Once fully enrolled, participants must attend all three remaining Saturday lessons and are encouraged to join us for Monday and Wednesday regular classes.

Please note that a minimum number of participants are necessary to hold the course and that class size is limited by the total membership of the dojo.  To begin the enrollment process, please complete the form below to reserve a space for the first lesson.
