Safety

Providing a culture of safe practice is paramount to us. For that reason, we limit the size of classes to ensure sufficient mat space for attendees.

Proof of COVID-19 vaccination (or negative covid test) is currently required. Masking is optional. We may adjust the vaccination policy as conditions evolve.

Refund Policy

Refunds for cancelled registration will be available through September 4; after that, refunds will be available if we can fill your spot from our waitlist.

Refunds for cancelled registrations will be subject to a 10% cancellation charge.

Housing

We can make some sleeping arrangements for out-of-town guests. Please contact us at [email protected].

The Silver Cloud Hotel (Broadway) is convenient for the weekend seminar at Seattle Central College and not too far from Aikido Seattle dojo, though we also suggest checking AirBnB and other vacation rental sites.
