All are welcome to join regardless of age, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, martial-arts experience, or physical ability. The only things you need to practice Aikido are a body and a mind.
Registered members of Ki Society will are expected to wear a clean dogi (practice uniform) at all times on the mat, with an appropriately-colored obi depending upon rank. Yudansha (holders of black belts) will also wear hakama (traditional pants).
Because we focus on connection with, and care for, the uke (the person being thrown), and because we maintain proper form and posture during techniques, Ki Aikido has an extraordinarily low injury rate.
With that in mind, please note that Aikido is a physical art and requires routine physical contact with all dojo members.
