AikidoAges: 18 and upFee: Y Member $50/month Community $75/monthThe martial art of Aikido evolved out of the historic tradition of the Japanese warrior arts. Studied in earnest, it is more than a form of self-defense, but a way to perfect one’s spirit. Aikido teaches self-defense without the use of strength or violence. By redirecting the force of an aggressor, attacks can be dealt with safely and effectively without the need for size or strength. A wide range of techniques can end the attack with joint locks, body throws and pins, designed to remove “the will to fight”, without causing permanent injury. Consistent practice of Aikido naturally leads to increased stamina, flexibility, agility and balance. Participants will also learn to master the art of falling safely “ukemi”. Often more valuable than the Aikido itself, we may never need to use our skills of self-defense, but everyone falls.STER Monday/Wednesday 8:15pm STER Sunday 6:00pm
