Words of Wisdom from O-Sensei

“Iron is full of impurities that weaken it; through forging, it becomes steel and is transformed into a razor-sharp sword. Human beings develop in the same fashion.”

Aikido Patch design


This is my concept for a club patch design. The patch would be 3 inches in diameter and would cost about $3 each, maybe a little less. The patch could be worn on the sleeve or on the left chest of the gi. See what you think. Mostly UVU green and black on a white background. We can make changes.

  1. Hey! That's pretty cool! I like that it incorporates Aikido as well as UVU. I think my only edits would be the following: Maybe instead of "we flip for Aikido" at the bottom, maybe put "Aikido Club" on top, and "Utah Valley University" on the bottom. I don't know how that would look, but something to try. Also, I would almost say maybe do either the "Aikido" kanji OR the graphic of kotegaeshi. Both together looks like a bit too much. Anyway, I think it looks great! Thanks for being involved in the club! It's good to have you!

  2. Sensei suggested a simple design. I'll post some more concepts here soon. I'd like to get 'er dun.

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.
