|  Aikido at the Fit Community
Aikido is a modern, non-aggressive Japanese martial art developed early in the 20th century by Morihei Ueshiba. Aikido focuses not on punching or kicking opponents, but rather on using their own energy to gain control of them or to throw them away from you. It is not a static art, but places great emphasis on motion and the dynamics of movement.
The Japanese word Aikido consists of three characters which can be translated as "the way of unity with the fundamental force of the universe."
Aikido Black Belt Keith Hardine now offers these self-defense classes to kids 11 and up at the Boys and Girls Club to empower his students with self-control, physical fitness, and valuable skills in self-defense. Kids and staff alike are grateful for the discipline and expertise that he offers his students, with a light-hearted style. |
