Joining the Dojo

No martial arts background or experience is necessary. You just need to be interested in trying this dynamic art! Even though Aikido is quite physical and requires stamina, no need to worry about that; our classes are demanding but we always respect everyone’s abilities and limitations. You will build up gradually through training.

Aikido Startup package

For new students, Montérégie Aikikai offers an Aikido Startup package. This package includes a training uniform, registration, and one month of unlimited Aikido classes, including access to our specially designed Fundamentals classes. These Fundamentals classes are an excellent way to start your Aikido practice by building a foundation that will prepare you for further training.

The Aikido Startup package is offered for $195, and includes one month of unlimited classes, registration, and a high-quality training uniform, a $255 value. A substantial discount is available for youth students and teenagers.

No experience is necessary. Everyone starts out as a beginner! Be sure to come to the dojo before your first class to register, meet the instructors, and observe a class.

For any questions, or if you are ready to get started, contact us.
