practitioners learn to control their own bodies and
redirect attacks. Participants will be introduced to
aikido techniques and philosophy and will focus
on breathing and posture, conditioning exercises,
etiquette, and learning to roll and fall properly.
Learning basic aikido movements should also be
useful to participants in their daily lives.

mental and physical awareness while learning
cooperation and respect for others. Instruction

young bodies and improve attention, coordination
and motor skills. Falling with confidence is a big
part of training followed by learning the principles
of movement which allows students to practice
techniques with partners.
