Teaching Theory & Technique
Teaching Practicum
When the Senior Instructor feels you’re ready, we start by having you get on the mat in the capacity of Assistant Instructor. There will always be time set aside later to review the class.
Once again, when we feel that you’re ready, you’ll run an entire class by yourself – of course under the watchful eye of the Senior Instructor.

What Others Are Saying
Don’t just take it from us, let our dojo members & alumni do the talking!
I also got to see all aspects of dojo operation and learn how to manage a dojo efficiently with the use of technology. And I found the opportunity to work closely with a 6th Dan AKI teacher and learn more about AKI aikido and philosophy a great experience.
Highly recommended if you want to accelerate your path into teaching.”
