Martial Arts
Aikido
Aikido is a Japanese martial art, with a focus on self-defense. Basic Aikido techniques include throws and joint locks, and an important part of beginners' practice is learning to "follow" techniques and fall safely from any position. Emphasis is on the moral and spiritual aspects of the art, placing great weight on the development of harmony and peace. For that reason, competition is not permitted in Aikido, nor is there emphasis on fighting. "The Way of Harmony of the Spirit" is one way that "Aikido" may be translated into English
Aikido movements are soft, rational, and smooth as in nature and by applying a bit of force, these can become devastatingly effective. The gentle quality of Aikido makes it appealing to men and women and children regardless of age. It not only offers spiritual development but also provides exercise and teaches proper etiquette and behavior.
Nick Petrescu, the Aikido class instructor is a second degree black belt trained under Sensei Yumi Nakamura, 6th degree BB and with over 20 years of experience.
