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

Funny things to read

The following was taken from and all credit is due to Aikidofac.com

Top 10 Reasons that Origami = Aikido

  1. Strong fingers aren't neccesary, but it is an advantage
  2. If you don't do it correctly from the beginning, you can be sure the end result is going to look ugly.
  3. If you use too much strength things might rip.
  4. Size does not matter.
  5. You start doing simple things and move into the complicated ones later
  6. If you don't master the basics, you can be sure you'll never manage the advanced things.
  7. The more you do it, the more you discover in the simple things.
  8. You can practice your art anywhere (but you'll get funny looks).
  9. It doesn't cost much.
  10. 40 years from now, you can still enjoy it.

Club News

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.
