Aikido 4023-P-AIK
Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art. Its main principle is lack of aggression and respect for other human beings, including the attacker. Aikido techniques are based on joint locks and throws, and are performed in such a manner as to neutralise the attack, while causing no harm to the attacker. At the most advanced level, virtually no physical force is used.
Aikido classes are for everyone, regardless of physical conditions. Hence, both men and women can attend. Aikido techniques are practised in pairs on a judo mat. A major element of the curriculum is safe falls. Aikido training enhances co-ordination, improves fitness and flexibility, and, to a lesser degree, strengthens muscles. Mentally, aikido contributes to the feeling of peace, self-confidence and trust to others, while promoting co-operation, as there is no rivalry involved.
The instructor holds the 5th Dan in aikido and is a certified examiner of the Polish Aikido Federation.
