Classes will consist of warm-ups, calisthenics and strength-building exercises, followed by basic forms and movements, exploring simple techniques and building towards the study of a particular technique or group of techniques that will be given focused study. Movements and techniques are studied in a gentle and cooperative format, with care for our partners' safety being of the utmost priority.

The Academy of the Impossible facilities include 430 square feet of professional mixed-martial arts training mats. Classes are coordinated by Josh Hehner, a registered instructor with the International Yoshinkan Aikido Federation, with 16 years experience studying and teaching martial arts.

Participation

Participation in the dojo is open to members of the Academy of the Impossible as well as instructor-approved guest participants. Classes are free to members, though students with the means to do so are encouraged to give a pay-what-you-can donation if they enjoyed the class.

Participants have several ways of taking part:

a) Those who wish to study any of the physical forms of self-defense should come dressed in comfortable work-out clothing, or, if possible, a piece of martial-arts clothing called a "dogi". Warmup will typically take place for the first half-hour of a scheduled class, followed by basic forms and positions, breakfalling and finally focused study of a given technique or set of techniques.
