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.”

-Morihei Ueshiba

Aikido Club practice back on schedule.

Club practice is back to Tuesdays/Thursdays 4-5:30 PM in PE 221. Welcome to new and old club members.

Look for some new digital signage for the club across campus.

If there's nothing on TV, check out When The Last Sword Is Drawn (2003) on
Hulu. 2 hrs. 17 min. In Japanese with English subtitles.

    I am not a UVU student but would love to join! How do i get a hold of the Sensei to gain permission? Can i just show up today at 4pm and if the non-student portion is full then I can't go back?
    Sincerely,
    Whitney Roseberry

    Yes, you can just show up. Sensei is very accomodating to non-students, so just come and have a chat with him.

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.
