Aikido is a Japanese martial art that emphasizes harmony, balance, and the
redirection of an opponent’s energy rather than meeting force with force. It focuses on circular
movements, joint locks, and throws to neutralize attacks in a controlled and non-aggressive way.
Adult Aikido classes focus on developing fluid movement, balance, and mental discipline through
non-competitive practice. Participants learn joint locks, throws, and defensive techniques designed to
redirect energy rather than rely on brute strength.
