Aikido and Tai Chi for Self Defense
Taijiquan (Tai Chi) and Aikido are both internal martial arts that rely on generating and controlling internal energy (qi or ki) rather than muscular strength, making internal arts an excellent choice for self-defense for smaller, older or less fit individuals. This training will allow you to control and redirect aggressive energy from assailants so their power dissipates. This permits you to defeat larger, stronger opponents by using their own strength against them. Qigong breath and movement training is fundamental to the development of centered balance and proper flow of energy. Taught by Dr. James Clark. North East Community Learning Center, Rm. 103, 8 Week(s), Thurs., Beg. June 9, 7:30-8:30 PM, $60.00

Japanese, Beginning Level 2 (Summer Session)
This is a continuation of the Level II class offered this past Spring. It is designed to bridge the long gap between Spring and Fall classes, and will help students maintain their skill levels until the Level III class starts in the Fall. In this four-week class, we will review and reinforce vocabulary, strengthen elementary writing skills, go over and practice basic grammar both individually and in groups and hold conversations appropriate to this level. All of this is to make sure the student is well-prepared and will feel comfortable going into Level III. Instructor Roger Pratt. The textbook used is “Genki” second edition, ISBN 978-4-7890-1440-3.
