Aikido
S6HFAIK

Aikido is a modern martial art rooted in ancient Japanese traditions. In Aikido we learn to defend ourselves without injuring our partner or opponent. Aikido means “the way of harmony with the life force”. Physically, Aikido employs the efficient use of available forces, emphasizing relaxation and being centered. Psychologically, Aikido involves reframing the elements of an attack allowing us to deal with the energy of threat and aggression. Wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing.

Instructor: Eric Wegner and Joe Vaughan have many years’ experience training and instructing in Aikido and other martial arts.
