Classes run from September to the end of June, following the school calendar. You can join at any point in the season.
The figures below are the full amount for a first registration, covering the whole season as well as the AFA licence and insurance.

The first class is free and carries no obligation. The licence covers insurance, access to federal seminars and grading examinations.
If you are affiliated with a Belgian mutual health insurance fund (mutuelle / ziekenfonds), it will refund part of the club fee. The club issues the certificate you need to claim it; the amount depends on your fund.
Classes are taught in French, but aikido is learned mainly by watching and doing. Beginners who speak English are usually paired with a practitioner who can help. Several members of the international community around Mons train here.
A Japanese martial art created by Morihei Ueshiba. There is no competition: the point is to neutralise an attack by unbalancing or immobilising your partner, never by striking to harm.
It develops fitness, breathing, balance and self-control, and it teaches you how to fall safely, which turns out to be useful well beyond the mat.
