Description: This introductory Aikido course provides students with a foundational understanding of Aikido, the Japanese martial art centered on balance, harmony, and non-resistance. Designed for beginners, the course introduces core principles of movement, posture, timing, and awareness in a safe, structured, and cooperative training environment.
Aikido emphasizes blending with an opponent’s motion rather than opposing it with force. Students will learn basic techniques through solo movement drills, partner exercises, and guided practice focused on control, safety, and personal development rather than competition.
