When you are a member of Aikido Centers of New Jersey you are a member of all of our dojos and you can take as many classes as you like at any and all ACNJ dojos for no additional charge.

When you begin Aikido at ACNJ you will be learning many new things. You will be taught new skills, new concepts, and new ways of moving and thinking.

We want you to succeed and we will gladly be there to support you but as with any goal, your state of mind and proper attitude will help. To be truly successful you must be committed to your success.

To help you to be successful with Aikido we recommend you consider starting with our 3-Month Starting Membership. Not only is this a discounted starting membership but, more importantly, as with anything new, since the first few months are often the most challenging we know that after those first three months you'll be more confident, more comfortable, and well over the first hurdle in succeeding at Aikido.

As a new member you will receive individual guidance from our advanced aikido practitioners, who, along with all our instructors and chief instructor, will kindly help you safely learn at your own pace and comfort level. Plus, as an ACNJ member you can attend all of our Aikido classes at all of our dojos - all at no additional cost.

Additionally, all of our Aikido classes cover Aikido beginner basics as well as introduce you to Aikido advanced techniques.

Before joining we suggest that you visit any of our dojos to observe one or more of our Aikido classes in their entirety. This will acquaint you with a typical Aikido class format. You will also be able to speak to the instructor or other members after the class. No appointment is necessary.

Simply refer to our class schedule and stop in the dojo at any of those times. We look forward to your visit - and to your joining us!

What are the benefits of being a member dojo with Aikido Centers of New Jersey?

Affiliation with ACNJ strengthens our practice and our dojo in many ways. First, your monthly fee allows you a reasonable practice at any of the other four ACNJ dojos in New Jersey at no additional charge. Second, as an affiliate with one of the largest and most established Aikido dojos in the region, our students can test for all kyu ranks under Greg O'Connor Sensei, 6th dan. Finally, you are part of a larger community of Aikido practitioners who frequently come together to share their experience and love of the art.
