Welcome to River Valley Aikido. Our Dojo was established in 1992 in Brattleboro, Vermont. We are dedicated to traditional Aikido training with an emphasis on personal development, both spiritual and physical.
We invite you to visit us and train. Beginners are always welcome and train at their own pace. We are located in a beautifully renovated church not far from Brattleboro Memorial Hospital.
Membership dues are purposefully affordable ($35/month).
We are now training two evenings a week:
Monday 6pm to 7
Wednesday 6pm to 7
Covid protocols have been implemented to maximize safe training:
- We urge all practioners to be fully vaccinated. This is not yet a requirement but is subject to review.
- All practioners must wear masks.
- Participants hands must be santitized both before and after class.
- Due to the rising levels in infection of Vermont we are maintaining distance during practice.
- We are practicing Aikido principals without physical contact with our partners.
- Disinfecting / cleaning protocols are followed after class.
- Windows are open during training and the overhead fans are on.
- A high-end Jade medical grade air filter has been installed.
- Due to cold temperatures in the dojo, students may wear non-slip socks (order on Amazon).
These protocols will change as the pandemic conditions change.
