Martial Arts Aikido Demonstration- FREE

Jodo

Aikido is one of the most modern forms of the Japanese martial arts. It has been called a “gentle” martial art because it uses strictly defensive techniques of evasion, redirection, and immobilization to avoid and control the attacker. Aikido focuses on minimum effort/ maximum effect, which makes it well suited for all people regardless of age, size or gender.

This demonstration is a wonderful way to learn some basic, effective self-defense, and discover more about Aikido!

Ages: 13 years and older.
