Louisville Aikikai encourages all who are interested in Aikido to visit the dojo and observe classes. 

• In order to keep focus on the class and avoid potentially dangerous distractions, we ask that visitors remove shoes, sit, and watch class quietly without cell phones, pagers, food, or drink. Prospective students are welcome to participate in classes after completing a liability waiver.

• Students must be at least 13 years old to practice unless special permission is given by the dojo manager. However, for students ages 13-15 parents need to stay for the class.

• The Joining Fee for Louisville Aikikai is $200 which covers your first 3 months of practice.

• Local club membership fees are $80.00 per month. Any additional family members are $40.00 a month. This allows you to practice in as many classes as you like.

• Louisville Aikikai is a member of the Aikido Schools of Ueshiba (ASU). Membership is $45.00 a year for non black belt students and $75 per year for black belt students.
