Words of Wisdom from O-Sensei

“Iron is full of impurities that weaken it; through forging, it becomes steel and is transformed into a razor-sharp sword. Human beings develop in the same fashion.”

Welcome Back Everyone!

I hope everyone has had an awesome break from studies and work. Welcome back to a new semester! I hope it goes well for everyone. I'm really looking forward to what coming up, as it will give us a good chance to do some recruiting and fundraising. A tentative plan for some upcoming events:

Club Rush is coming up! This will be a great opportunity to showcase our club in the halls of UVU for a couple of days. It also earns money for the club, so if we can get a few volunteers to man the table for even just an hour, that would be great! We'll have a table and a tv for about 4 hours each of the 2 days that we participate. This will take place on Wednesday the 14th, Thursday the 15th.

We really want to do a club fundraiser! The plan (hopefully), is to do the fundraiser immediately following, or in conjunction with Club Rush. That way, we can further encourage participation in club. Don't worry, we're not selling candy or raffle tickets. We'll give further details later.

Again, welcome back! We hope to see you in PE 221!

Aikido Club Details

Days, Times, and Location: Aikido Club sessions are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00pm to 5:30pm. We meet in PE 221 on UVU campus.

Club Dues: As a club at UVU, we are actually required to collect dues. We currently collect $20 per semester in club dues per person. Many dojos outside of UVU run about $40 per month, so this really is a great opportunity to learn Aikido at a great price! Club dues go right into the club fund where they can then be used for equipment for club and other club expenses.

Equipment: Bring a T-Shirt and athletic style pants, such as sweat pants. Those that have a gi are welcome to wear that. We recommend that you not wear shorts.

Testing: As Sensei is an Aikido Association of America certified instructor, he is able to conduct belt promotion tests. This is an awesome opportunity to progress further into Aikido. AAA fees apply (Ex. 7th kyu test fee is $25).

If you have any other questions about the club, please click the "contact me" button found on the right side of this page and send us a message.

Note to those who are not UVU students: The UVU Clubs organization states that we are able to accept non-UVU students into the club. However, at least 75% of our club membership MUST be UVU students. If you would like to join the UVU Aikido Club, prior approval must be obtained from Sensei.
