Aikido Classes
The art of Aikido, as envisaged by its founder Morihei Ueshiba, aims to produce well-balanced and positive human beings who are able to contribute to their society in general.
It is a martial art which is not about hurting others but about helping oneself.
The philosophy behind it is one of conquering the fear within us all and helping us to realize our full potential as confident human beings.
When practicing we all must develop a strong positive attitude or we will be overwhelmed by the attack, the technique will not work and we will perish.
You cannot practice Aikido with a negative or angry attitude. Aikido develops a calm, relaxed and centered mind not easily distracted or manipulated.
T'ai Chi Classes
T'ai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art initially developed for combat and self-defense, though now for most practitioners it has evolved into a gentle form of exercise and health improving art. It is characterised by a series of deliberate, flowing movements carried out while focusing on deep, slow breathing. Often referred to as 'meditation in motion,' T'ai Chi aims to concentrate and balance the body's purported vital energy or 'qi', providing benefits to mental and physical health.
