Principles and Practice of Aikido
Exploring Aikido Principles through Natural Movement
Are you drawn to the ideas of Aikido, but find it hard to participate in the standard classes? If so, you may be interested in the “Principles and Practice of Aikido” classes. These falling-optional classes allow additional time and space to explore AiKi concepts.
Aikido of Santa Cruz is committed to the vision that anyone can train and learn useful skills in Aikido. This class allows you to:
train in a way that supports health and growth while developing effective skills
improve your ability to move with a relaxed and centered body
develop self-discipline and awareness
Come train with a wide range of people who are using Aikido principles and self-examination as an opportunity to grow, heal, and move beyond any challenges. And if you have been off the mat for an extended period of time, this may be a way to transition back into other classes.
There is a special lower monthly membership fee of $60 for those attending only the “Principles and Practice of Aikido” classes. Those with a regular adult monthly membership are also welcome to attend.
Mondays and Wednesdays, Noon to 1:15 PM
