LBI Aikido
ClubAikido is the "gentle way" to learn
a defensive martial art. Consisting of blocks, evasive maneuvers, restraining
and throwing techniques, it helps to develop coordination and control. Increased
stamina, flexibility, and muscle development occur naturally as a result of
training, but the techniques do not depend on strength;
Aikido can be
practiced by people of all ages and physiques. Aikido uses the
strength of an aggressor against him in a non-lethal way.
5th Degree Black Belt Chet Griffin
takes the class through the fundamentals of movement,
distance, timing and breathing. You are invited to visit
this program and try it out one class, if you return for a second class,
the second class is free of charge. Wear comfortable, loose
fitting clothing (warm-up suit, sweats or gi). Registration or mat fee is
required for continued participation.
This Aikikai is a member of the United States
Aikido Federation. All aikido students are encouraged to visit regardless of
style. Come and train with us while you are on vacation for a $10 mat fee or see
the instructor for special visitor rates.
In the Youth Aikido class
the basics from the Martial Arts and Aikido will be taught by Ed Kardell.
Students will increase their self-confidence, improve coordination and
concentration skills, and build a foundation for self-defense techniques.
Emphasis will be on learning the basics from both arts which complement one
another; as well as promoting safety, respect, and the ability to work with
peers. Physical ability, inner strength and harmony will develop and help
students deal with conflict.
