Free
  • « Midwest Aikido Bridge Seminar
  • Tres Hofmeister Sensei Summer Seminar (Now on Zoom!) »

All Aikido friends are invited to join us each third Friday at 6:30 till around 8:00 pm, for our monthly special practice.

And then the festivities will begin.

We will enjoy getting together around a potluck of beverages, dinner, and desserts, after class. So, it would be great if you are able to bring a dish or some beverage.

If you’ve been wondering about aikido or Chicago Aikikai, this would be a great chance to meet us, please drop in!

Come early, train hard, stay late! Bring a friend!
