We will explore the basics of Aikido in our safe and friendly dojo, with instructor Sven Janson Sandan. Sven has been training in Aikido for 23 years, he has also done various other martial arts like Ju Jitsu, Kung fu, Wing Chun, Kick Boxing and others.
Aikido is a non-competitive Japanese martial art. The techniques of Aikido depend not on physical strength, but on circular motions that blend with the energy of the attacker. There are no physical boundaries such as being tall or short, big or small, young or old , or whether you’re male or female!
During this 6 week period, you will learn how to avoid impact from attacks, falling and rolling safely, and the fundamental techniques of Aikido. You will also notice improved coordination, confidence, flexibility and mental wellbeing.
No previous training required, just bring comfortable clothing (active wear), a bottle of water, motivation and friends! There are changing rooms on the ground floor.
“Give Aikido a go! You may find someone new in yourself, we look forward to seeing you on the mat”
The Dojo is in Room W224 upstairs in the ARA Recreation Centre on the corner of Moorhouse Ave and Barbadoes St. Car parking is free, entry is either off Moorhouse avenue before Barbadoes St, or off Coventry St
