Aikido – Yoga

“Aikido was originally founded by Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969) – one of the greatest martial artists in modern history.”

Aikido:

  • Aikido is one of the most popular martial arts practiced worldwide. What differentiates Aikido from other traditional martial arts is that it’s empty-hand techniques are derived from the body movements, martial strategy and mental focus of Japanese swordsmanship.
  • Aikido’s free flowing circular movements enable you to redirect the energy from an opponent without having to clash with the force of the attack. This non-aggressive strategy allows you to effectively defend yourself without the need to employ the destructive punching and kicking techniques that characterise other combat arts.

Yoga:

  • All around the world, yoga has proven itself to be a very practical and effective way of facilitating physical and mental well-being, developing core stability, enhancing co-ordination, and activating  personal power through enhanced focus, awareness, breathing and meditation techniques.

Aikido – Yoga:

  • Aikido-Yoga integrates the traditional training methods employed by the Japanese martial art of Aikido with the ancient science of Yoga. Far more than a separate study of Aikido and Yoga in isolation from each other, the pragmatic training methods of Aikido-Yoga provide a seamless integration of the two disciplines.
  • The training takes place in a safe, friendly, non-competitive group environment, at a pace that is tailored to your ability. This ensures an injury-free training session that is most suitable for men, women and children of all ages.
  • The training promotes a healthy lifestyle and teaches discipline, etiquette and respect for all life.
