Details

Aikido is a Japanese martial art literally translating to “the Way of harmonious spirit” that provides a means of self-defense without inflicting harm to the attacker. Known for its non-violent techniques, Aikido redirects the opponent’s energy using entering and turning movements finished with either a throw or a joint lock. Along with being a great source of exercise, Aikido provides the following benefits:

  • Alleviates stress

  • Increases flexibility, endurance and physical ability

  • Boosts self-confidence and self-esteem

  • Improves balance, coordination, awareness and concentration

  • Promotes mental, physical and spiritual health

  • Induces muscle development, weight loss and an overall positive outlook

All are welcome to visit and try a free class!
