Aikido - Melbourne - Australia
Aikido: Aikido training integrates several martial systems, including empty-hand (tai-jutsu), wooden sword (aiki-ken), wooden staff (aiki-jo) and knife (tanto). 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. An understanding of how each empty-hand technique relates back to the principles of Japanese swordsmanship is fundamental to the martial art of Aikido. The free flowing circular movements of Aikido enable you to redirect the flow of 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. This traditional budo training not only enables you to effectively defend yourself against multiple armed or unarmed attackers, it is one of the best 'mind, body and spirit' training systems available today. [Testimonials] 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. [Testimonials] 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 and the 8 Limbs of Yoga: Aikido-Yoga seamlessly 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. We are strongly committed to maintaining the authentic, traditional ideals of the unique martial-art of Aikido as originally taught by Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969). However, cross-training in Yoga ensures that we gain the many rich and rewarding benefits that are offered by both of these incredible disciplines in order to pragmatically facilitate the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of our personal growth in a realistic, practical, structured and results-oriented way.
