Aikido drop-in exercise
- 14.30 -16.00
- Joustotatami, Luola
Would you like to try out Aikido? Aikido (the way of the harmonic force) is a traditional Japanese martial art which includes both hand-to-hand and weapons combat strategies. In Aikido, one aims to neutralize the aggressor using only the attackers own force against themself. This is accomplished by conducting round and flowing body techniques. In addition to exercising the use of joint locks, throws and pinning techniques, we learn to use wooden swords, staff and knives.
During the drop-in exercise, we familiarize ourselves with basic falls (ukemi), pinning and throwing techniques and weapons. The only necessary equipment is softer pants and a shirt suitable for exercise.
Note also the student offers!
