Description:
Aikido is a non-competitive martial art with foundations in sword and spear fighting, jujutsu, and other martial arts. Practitioners of the art learn to control their own bodies and redirect attacks. In this six-week class, participants will be introduced to aikido techniques and philosophy, with primary focus on breathing and posture, conditioning exercises, etiquette, and learning to roll and fall properly. Learning will be assisted by more senior students and participants will advance at their own pace. Participants may take the Beginning class as often as they’d like
