Aikido

A General Aikido class is a more flowing and dynamic than the basic or beginners class.

Anyone can participate and train in a General class - at their own pace. The techniques and pace of the class however, are far more advanced than the Beginners and Basic class.

Each class includes Aiki yoga, stretches, breathing and the centering exercises. The pace can either start dynamically or build in its intensity to the more dynamic Aiki interactive movements and techniques.

Regular Training

Two to three sessions of the general class per week increases one’s aerobic fitness and activates one’s lifeforce to keep it fresh and flowing so as to meet all the dynamic interaction that life brings. It develops harmonious effectiveness.

Peaceful - yet Effective.

Aikido is a peaceful and dynamic martial art, based on blending with the energy (Ki) of an attack and returning harmony and balance.

Although it is peaceful - it is not passive. It is most precise and effective.

Aikido’s unique approach is based on protecting the attacker throughout the interaction. This requires you to be in touch with your true power based on mind/body unity. This power is called ‘Ki’.

Developing Your Greatest Potential.

Aikido is designed to bring out your full potential for protection, abilities, health, vitality, awareness, reflexes, flexibility, inner strength, confidence, discipline and more - in a joyful and healthy way, to maximize successful living.

Using Ki (energy) to Gain and Master Inner Health and Empowerment.

Ki is the energy behind all things. When your mind and body are unified and in harmony, there is an energy that permeates all your actions – an irresistible influence.

Incorporating and developing Ki in training, greatly deepens the effectiveness of Aikido. There is a major difference in the level of those that train using Ki and those who do not.

Winning Through The Art of Non Resistance

Aikido is called the art of ‘non-resistance’ as the attackers desire to attack is dissolved. Like trying to attack the ocean, it is better to let go and flow with its currents.

So beyond the martial art, Aikido becomes the way of flowing with nature’s forces to turn your life into a state of flow.
