Break in Classes, Winter 2020-21
After much debate and thought, it feels best & safest to stop classes for the Winter. Our last Outdoor Distance Training class was in October. For the months of November & December 2020 as well as January & February 2021. We are optimistic that Outdoor Training can resume in the Spring, and, given recent information about the efficacy of vaccines, we hope to have regular classes resuming indoors sometime late Spring or Summer 2021.

New Distance Training Class, June 2020

If you are interested in starting Aikido training, please email Dojo@AikidoYoshokaiVermont.org for class time and location. Osu! |
