Visitors are always welcome! It is very easy to join our dojo all you have to do is find your way to the dojo (View Map and Directions
). You should arrive about 10 Minutes early in order for introductions and to go over the necessary paperwork.
If you are joining our dojo, please be prepared to write a check for the first month's practice fee ($45) and annual membership fees ($45) written in the amount of $90.00 and made payable to Aikido of Suenaka-Ha Indiana.
All members of Wadokai Aikido are required to practice in an all-white Aikido or Judo-style Gi. Other equipment you will need is a practice wooden sword called a bokken and a wooden staff called a Jo. Because people have their personal preferences regarding the structure of these items, you can purchase them through any supplier.
If you are non-Wadokai Aikido member and would like to workout with us you are more to than welcome to join us on the mat. You will be asked to please fill out a visitor's waiver and pay a $10 mat fee.
All new students are encouraged to take a complimentary trial class. Please dress in sweet pants and a t-shirt.
Class Format and New Students
Our class structure is quit simple, everyone practices in the open class format. The subject matter is not practiced according to one's rank. New students are absolutely welcome to join us at any time!
Transfer Students
Aikido students new to the area are welcome to join Wadokai Aikido and practice Suenaka-Ha Tetsugaku-Ho Aikido at our dojo. Please be advised that a transferring student's rank will not be transferred once the transferring student becomes a member of Wadokai Aikido. Because rank is determined by testing, we ask transfer students to attend general classes in order to become familiar with Wadokai Aikido style, philosophy and rules of etiquette. A transfer student who meet the requirements for testing will be asked to test during our regular testing period where previous experiences maybe taken into consideration. However, this consideration is at the sole discretion of the testing board.
To All Visiting Aikidoka
Non-Wadokai Aikido guests are welcome to practice at Aikido of Suenaka-ha Indiana. Mat fees for one class are $10.00. Visitors are our guests and we welcome you to practice with us. We do ask that visitors refrain from teaching their own style and comply with Wadokai Aikido rules of dojo etiquette.
Observers Welcome
Visitors are always welcome to stop in and observe a class. Sometimes seeing Aikido practiced in person is a great way to learn more about the art. Our instructors and students are more than happy to help answer any questions that you may have.
