Aikido is a very dynamic, enjoyable martial art that does not foster violent tendencies and reactions. While learning effective self-defence skills you are also cultivating a clear mind and harmonious spirit. Physically, Aikido is a complete workout, toning, stretching and exercising the entire body from head-to-toe. Students often comment on a “glowing sense of well-being” after class. But Aikido also offers much more than self-defence or exercise. It also stimulates the mind-body connection, developing your sense of movement, balance and mental acuity. Through it's movements and principles, Aikido offers concepts and strategies that can be directly applied for greater enjoyment, harmony and resiliency in your daily life. As you learn the physical art, you will also be developing your ability to remain centered and calm in situations that may have “thrown” you before. You will cultivate a keen sense of awareness that will serve you both in emergency situations and day-to-day interactions.
