The purpose of executing an Aikido technique is to blend with and subdue an attack without causing harm to the assailant. Class consists of cooperative practice in which everyone takes turns executing and receiving techniques. Beginning and advanced students practice with and learn from each other. Joining the Aikido club is easy.
New members are welcome to join throughout the semester.
Attending and participating in one or two classes is free. This semester, members will not be required to have a uniform. No previous knowledge of Aikido or any other martial art is required. During class more experienced practitioners pair up with those who are not familiar with a technique. The club usually practices in the Pearson Hall Gym.
