Biography: Morihei Ueshiba
This is the wikipedia link to the biography of Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido. It's a good summary of his life that talks about the martial arts influences and religious influences in his life. It also has some stories (some may be a bit sensational) of personal experiences he had. A great read!
Here's a pretty cool video of O-Sensei taking ukemi for a little kid!
Aikido Club Details
Days, Times, and Location: Aikido Club sessions are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00pm to 5:30pm. We meet in PE 221 on UVU campus.
Club Dues: As a club at UVU, we are actually required to collect dues. We currently collect $20 per semester in club dues per person. Many dojos outside of UVU run about $40 per month, so this really is a great opportunity to learn Aikido at a great price! Club dues go right into the club fund where they can then be used for equipment for club and other club expenses.
Equipment: Bring a T-Shirt and athletic style pants, such as sweat pants. Those that have a gi are welcome to wear that. We recommend that you not wear shorts.
Testing: As Sensei is an Aikido Association of America certified instructor, he is able to conduct belt promotion tests. This is an awesome opportunity to progress further into Aikido. AAA fees apply (Ex. 7th kyu test fee is $25).
If you have any other questions about the club, please click the "contact me" button found on the right side of this page and send us a message.
Note to those who are not UVU students: The UVU Clubs organization states that we are able to accept non-UVU students into the club. However, at least 75% of our club membership MUST be UVU students. If you would like to join the UVU Aikido Club, prior approval must be obtained from Sensei.
