Martial Arts Training Through ISD 196 Community Ed
Aikido is a gentle but effective martial art, best suited to smaller people
ISD 196 will again offer an introductory course in Aikido. This martial art does not rely on strength--in fact muscular strength gets in the way. It is sometimes referred to as 'self-defense without revenge'. No punching, no kicking, no bashing--no fooling! Join us for the 6 week
session and learn how to protect yourself without adding violence to a situation, how to make your point without making a scene. You will learn how to fall without injury, a valuable skill in itself with winter snow and ice lingering (sorry...). Course AAiki-W2 meets at Deerwood Elementary/Blackhawk Middle School starting on February 19, at 6.30 to 8 PM. See the listing in the on-line or print version of the Community Ed catalog. Enrollment is limited for safety and better instruction. We'll see you on the mat!
