What You will Gain
from our
Aikido program
PROGRESS & ACHIEVEMENT
We have a strong curriculum that is designed for appropriately gradual advancement in skill. As students develop skill, they become eligible to move to the next rank and belt. Achieving higher ranks and belts in aikido serves as a measure of progress and achievement, motivating practitioners to continue pushing themselves to new levels of skill and understanding.
SELF-DEFENSE SKILLS
Aikido places emphasis on redirection of an attack to neutralize it. It does not rely on brute force, it relies on recycling the attacker's energy and movements, often using an attacker’s force against them. Aikido emphasizes control rather than aggression, and, in this way, is often referred to as ‘The Art of Peace’.
FOCUS SKILLS
Through Aikido training, and the practice of being attacked over and over again within their skill-level, students learn to remain calm and focused under times of pressure. By practicing and refining techniques, students improve their ability to manage stress, focus on tasks, set goals, and achieve them.
PHYSICAL FITNESS
Aikido is an excellent way to increase fitness and cardio health. Depending on the class on any given day, you will experience a cardio workout, or flexibility enhancement, or coordination and focus skills, or sometimes all of these. Our aikido classes develop flexibility, mental and physical balance, strength, and overall physical fitness.
SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT
Through practicing technique and the philosophy behind it, Aikido encourages self-reflection and personal growth. In this way, Aikido practice can be considered spiritual.
As practitioners work towards mastering techniques, they not only face their attacker but they face how they manage that attacker. Students learn where to make self-improvements to better deal their attacker, and this improvement extends to how they deal with life challenges. Some students learn to be more assertive, others learn to relax and accept imperfections, and some learn to be more decisive to minimize anxiety.
By cultivating a deeper understanding of themselves, students develop valuable skills for managing interpersonal relationships and overcoming obstacles in their lives. Ultimately, aikido offers a path towards continuous personal improvement that can be deeply fulfilling and rewarding.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Through the practice of aikido, students gain confidence in their abilities to navigate and control conflict and opposition. Aikido is not just about self-defense techniques; it is also about learning effective conflict resolution strategies that can be applied both on and off the mat.
CONFIDENCE BUILDING
Aikido develops self-confidence through mastering techniques and successfully handling challenging situations. When we deal with opposition, we develop strong decision-making skills that help eliminate anxiety and lead to empowered confidence.
ENGAGING FUN
Aikido provides an excellent personal challenge that is both puzzling and invigorating! This practice is physically and mentally fun, and the philosophy behind it extends to daily problem-solving skills.
