Aikido

Objectives of Aikido
Gives students a basic understanding on the concept of self-defense with a soft martial art. With Aikido techniques that harmonize and blend with the attack, one need not be strong or powerful to do self-defense. Introduce values of respect & care for others, the importance of non-violence & harmony. Allow students to experience Aikido as multi-faceted: it is self-defense, it allows physical interaction with friends, it is good for mind-training and focus, it is also an enjoyable workout.
