Aikido has a long history at Stanford!

View photos commemorating Doran Sensei's 50th Anniversary on the path of aikido. Many of these photos are from his days at Stanford.

Upcoming visits:

Tuesday Feb. 9: Doran Sensei

Note: Doran Sensei usually visits on the first Tuesday of every month. If you are just curious about aikido, these are great classes to observe.

Beginners Welcome Anytime!

Please feel free to drop by and observe or particpate in any class. The first few weeks of the quarter are usually best as there are many beginners at that time, but really, you may start taking classes at any point. If you would like to participate, and you have the time before you arrive, please print and sign our waiver. It will save time just before class for introductions and stretching.

Stanford Student Waiver

Non-Student Waiver

If you have meeting or class that overlaps with our starting time, please feel free to come in and quietly observe. After class, let us know about your scheduling situation and we'll do our best to work something out. The only way to learn aikido is to participate. However, you may also find a discussion of the principles of aikido to be helpful in understanding what is happening on the mat. We look forward to training with you!
