Aikido Montreux

Adult Aikido Program

Aikido Montreux offers a comprehensive program for adults of all abilities. Our aim is to give every individual the chance to train at the pace and intensity that is right for them. There are 10 classes a week for adults and periods of time that the dojo is open for personal training. We realize that everyone has a life that has many commitments and responsibilities. Aikido Montreux respects the commitments that each student has to their own life and tries to create a training program that fits with those commitments rather than competes with them. Affiliated with the Aikikai Hombu dojo through the CAA (California Aikido Association), Aikido Montreux awards traditional rank for those students who fufill the requirements of the art. The classes offered to adults range from sword and staff classes (jo and bokken), open handed classes (taijitsu), to classes in Yoga, meditation(Zazen), and the art of Tea Ceremony (Chado). Each new student is given a new membership book explaining the Aikido in greater detail and the requirements for rank as well as a glossary of terms unique to the art.
