Aikido techniques originate from a low center of gravity and focusing of the body s power in the hips. From this center, through body movement and extended power, the attacker s balance is broken, permitting him or her to be either thrown or pinned.
Partners train by taking turns throwing and being thrown, pinning and being pinned.
Learning to protect yourself and fall correctly is just as important as learning to throw and pin correctly. Aikido can be practiced as gently or as vigorously as one desires and therefore increases flexibility, promotes relaxation, and provides a good workout. Accordingly, men, women, children, and senior citizens all benefit greatly from this art. This site is hosted by StarWay Include your company on the StarWay. All Rights Reserved.
