Aikido is a modern martial art derived from the Samurai fighting techniques of ancient Japan. Developed during the 1020s, the technical foundations of Aikido can be traced back to Aiki-jujutsu which evolved in early Japan.
Aikido is not a conventional fighting art or sport. Instead, it is a martial art which develops the ability to harmonize with opposing forces rather than combat them. Because of this, many circular and spherical movements are involved in Aikido to redirect opposing forces towards a less harmful destination.
The beginner's course is a 16 class program designed to provide beginner students with a strong foundation in the basic techniques of Yoshinkan AIkido.
