Aikido .... A Self-defense Martial Art

Our Mission Statement

"Inspire Self Confidence in Every Child."

What is Aikido?

Aikido is not fighting; it is blending with an aggressor's force and then redirecting it, using balance, posture and metal awareness. Aikido is known for graceful techniques and soft effortless movements. Also by means of subtle pressure applied to joints, an attacker is brought into submission and controlled. Ultimately, it is the attack that brings down the attacker.

Aikido is an excellent form of physical exercise and self defense. The study of Aikido involves teaming smooth balanced and coordinated movements in a non-competitive, cooperative atmosphere. During classes, students work with one another to refine their movements and further their understanding of Aikido principles. The practice of Aikido combines the training of the mind, body and spirit in a single unified discipline.

Conflict resolution and controlling aggression are the base for developing good self-defense skills. In addition to these lessons, your child will learn the physical techniques that help them feel more confident in tough times.
