It is our belief that the healthful aspects and the martial aspects are interwoven together and it is difficult to separate the two but we choose to emphasize one slightly over the other in most cases. We frown upon and do not elevate competitiveness for the sake of competitiveness or pride or ego, but if organically a student and another student, or group of students with a firm grasp of ukemi are interested in intensifying their martial training together it will happily be accommodated. Safety and the pleasure of practice is our design.
Aikido is a multifaceted martial art suitable for women and men. Usually, the martial arts can be very intimidating for a beginner. However, did you know that Aikido can be practiced for health, enjoyment, and improved flexibility? You do not need experience in the martial arts to begin. Our instructors will assist you in learning classical techniques, stretches, and body awareness.
