YMCA membership is required (either Summit, Berkeley
Heights or Springfield YMCAs) after your first three
months of ACNJ Aikido classes at the Summit YMCA. The Summit YMCA must
be seen to be appreciated. It is a fabulous up-beat facility and one of
the top YMCAs in New Jersey.
When you are a member of ACNJ-Summit you also have the option
of being
a member of all of our dojos and take as many classes as you
like at any and all ACNJ dojos.
When you begin Aikido at ACNJ-Summit 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 signing up for 3 months when you start. 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-Summit member you also have the option
of attending all of our Aikido classes at all of our dojos.
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 ACNJ-Summit
classes to
observe. 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. Please call
ACNJ-Summit chief instructor Lawrence Holmes at 908 334 0092
for an appointment.
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 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.
