Aikido for Adults?

A few people have come to me and asked if I am interested in teaching adult Aikido classes on Thetis. I would, if there is enough interest. Interested people can contact me by e-mail islandsedge@yahoo.com

Aikido is a Japanese martial art, founded by Master Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969). It is a martial art which trains one in self-discipline, coordination, and concentration. The techniques are based on the principle of non-resistance and harmony, and teach the practitioner to develop the natural power (Ki) inherent in the body.  In addition to the development of martial skill, the aim of Aikido is “to unify the mind and body and to promote peace, harmony, and cooperation among all beings”.
