🥋 Every class gives you another opportunity to improve.

You don't have to get everything right the first time. Aikido is built through practice, patience, and learning alongside others.

Sometimes progress is simply showing up, trying again, and enjoying the process. 🙌

Come train with us at the Brenda and John Duncan YMCA. We'd love to see you on the mat!

🥋 Your ukemi is part of your Aikido practice.

Mae Ukemi, or front roll training, is a great way to practice your rolls while keeping your body moving and improving your technique.

The more comfortable you become with your ukemi, the more confidently you can move on the mat.
