Introduction: We offer instruction in Aikido, a traditional Japanese martial art practiced cooperatively in a fun and safe environment. Students learn to blend with an attack and neutralize it without using brute force; this makes Aikido an effective self-defense system for anyone. Students improve concentration, awareness and self-confidence, while getting fit, gaining strength and increasing flexibility!
In addition Aikido is a superb, low impact aerobic physical exercise. Some people describe it as a dynamic, interactive Yoga. It is also is a spiritual path, a strategy for resolving interpersonal conflict in everyday life, a platform for self-development and a movement for world peace.
The monthly fee is $90 which allows unlimited practice, 7 days a week. We also offer beginners programs.
Because of it's unique characteristics, Aikido attracts a vibrant community of interesting people.
