Are you over 50 and looking for a fun and engaging way to stay fit? Look no further than our Over 50s Aikido Beginner Program! This program is designed specifically for individuals in their 50s and beyond who are interested in learning the art of Aikido, a traditional Japanese martial art renowned for its focus on balance, flexibility, and mindfulness.

What is Aikido? Aikido is not just a martial art; it's a holistic practice that combines physical movement with mental discipline. Unlike other martial arts that emphasize brute force and aggression, Aikido focuses on redirecting an opponent's energy, making it an ideal form of self-defense for people of all ages and physical abilities.

Program Highlights:

Introduction to Aikido: Participants will learn the fundamental techniques and principles of Aikido, including basic stances, movements, and self-defense techniques. Our experienced instructors will guide you through each step of the learning process, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
