Aikido is a martial art for self-defense against one or múltiple attackers. Aikido techniques consist of joint locks, throws and strikes combined with circular motions to immoblize and neutralize attacks.
My son has been practicing aikido for three months now. Prior this, he was a green belt in tkd. Of the two, I much prefer this Japanese form and so does he. It focuses more on the most peaceful resolution possible while fostering the ability to defend oneself. The instructor is great with the kids and it’s priced a bit more affordably than other classes. I highly recommend this class for kids and adults.
