The members of the Asheville Aikikai not only learn the self-defense techniques but also learn the skills necessary to operate a non-profit organization. Membership entitles you to vote and possibly serve on the board of directors. The dojo holds a general membership meeting and elections yearly to select board members and conduct business.

Membership also includes joining the United States Aikido Federation. An individual membership in the USAF entitles one to participate in numerous seminars held in our dojo and throughout the U.S. and the world.
