HOMBU DOJO -> Aikido Gakko (6-month Special Intensive Course)
The Aikido Gakko, which is the only Aikido school officially recognized by the Tokyo City Government, is a course offered separate from the Regular and Beginner classes at Aikido Hombu Dojo. This course is run as a small group lesson, meeting twice a week for 90 minutes each time, for a duration of approximately 5 months. This is not a full-time study course, and does not offer any special studies other than aikido training. This course is not designed for special promotions or considerations.
There are three levels of study- Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced. Each of them begins instruction with the fundamentals, and is taught by the same instructors throughout the course.
Sessions for all three levels of the Aikido Gakko begin in both April and October every year.
