Beginners are welcome to attend any Friday night class (6.30-7.30pm, 7.35-8.30pm) or Sunday class (12.30-1.30pm, 1.35pm-2.30pm). Two free classes are offered to new students. Uniforms are available to borrow during the classes. Beginners wishing to join a class should arrive at least 15 min before the above class start-time.

Membership

After the two free classes, if wanting to continue training, a Membership Form is then required to be completed and both an annual Membership fee and a Training fee is required to be paid.

Annual Membership and Training Fees - from August 2020

The annual membership fee is $100 per year. If joining after June 30th, the fee is reduced to $50 for the first year.

There is also a fee for training classes, which in 2018, is set as one of :

• $100 per calendar month for adults, or
• $60 per calendar month for over-10 and under-18 year olds, or
• $150 per calendar month for a family (max of 4 family members), or
• a casual rate of $30 per training day (which covers 2 classes)

**** 2025 UPDATE : For a limited time, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Perth Aikido training at Loftus Recreation Centre, all training fees for January & February have been cancelled. **** That is during January & February all training classes are free, without any obligations. The normal training fees will appy in March.
