Aikido East Bay ― Soft Opening!
We are thrilled to announce the first class of our new dojo, Aikido East Bay (working name). Please join us for this momentous occasion!
Evie and César will co-lead class on the outdoor patio at Inclusive Massage East Bay, just blocks from Lake Merrit. Don’t worry, we have mats! Sixteen 1.5” tatami laid on top of 2” foam puzzle mats make for a comfortable training surface.
Given César’s immunocompromised status, we are asking that attendees be up to date with their vaccines, and be prepared to wear a mask.
Donations are gratefully accepted and will be put toward the development of this new dojo!
Please make sure to RSVP below, and join the Facebook event for updates. Thank you so much!
