About five times a year Saint Louis Ki Society conducts a 5-week Introductory Aikido Course for Adults. These courses give participants a good taste of Aikido training with Saint Louis Ki Society. Try a little of everything along with other beginners and some of our regular students. Along with rolling practice and four basic Aikido throwing arts, there will be lessons in meditation, breathing exercises, and the basic principles of Mind and Body Coordination. The cost is $50.
