It does not rely on upper body muscle strength or body size to be effective. Training in Aikido helps you develop balance, flexibility, coordination, spatial awar
Kick off your Sunday morning with a high-energy suburi practice in the sunny park! Feeling so good 😃

Students begin their Aikido training by learning fundamental safety, proper posture and stances, basic repositioning skills, controlled relaxation of the arms and upper body, safe ukemi/falling, some Aikido terms, and the dojo etiquettes.
Sensory overload??
Don’t worry 😉 we will build that up step by step and with lots of repetition.
