DAY: Sunday, August 22, 2010

TIME: 4:00 PM-5:00 PM (CORRECTION)

WHERE: Los Alamos Fitness Center

Aikido is a non-competitive Japanese martial art well-suited to women with its focus on hip movement, center, and flow. Proper technique does not require muscle power. Instead, aikido teaches you to use your inherent strength that comes with confidence, practice, and knowing your own body. It emphasizes harmony (“ai”) by blending with an attack and using your opponent’s energy against them.

This free class will introduce you to the basic movements in aikido in a safe environment taught by women for women.

Please wear workout clothes with long pants.

Interested in a coed beginner’s class? Let us know.

Congratulations!

We are considering offering a women-only aikido class which would be taught by Jane Lin. If you are interested in this or even a mixed beginner’s class, please let us know! We will start with a one-time session. If there’s a lot of interest, it could become a regular class.
