Training schedule week of 2016 09 12
A private foundation has provided two of three years of the funding which makes our programs possible. They are "undergoing internal difficulties" and, instead of our third year of funding, may very well not offer even reduced support in the Fall. We will try to continue to open our doors to you regardless of your ablity to pay, but may have to close our doors altogether. We can continue if those who benefit from our work together choose to offer their financial support. Training at other dojos costs from $80-$100 a month, but we will trust and depend on your commitment, and the world that generosity creates. Please visit the Free Aiki Dojo Partnership page and create a recurring donation for as much as you can afford. Every person in our community is important to us, and we must rely on you to help us move through this challenging time.

P.S. All Golden Bears Aikido classes are Free Aiki Dojo classes, and vice versa. We are a single training community. Brandon Sensei teaches all classes, unless otherwise noted, and also highly recommends (you are always welcome to train in) any class at Aikido of Berkeley. When you train in a class there taught by someone other than Brandon Sensei, please leave a $10-$15 donation in the wooden box on the cabinet near the front door.
