Saturday morning classes are from 7:00a.m 8:30a.m.
Our Aikido style focuses on static techniques in the beginning with continued emphasis on being able to perform the "basic form" even when progressing to the "ki no negare" or flowing type of techniques. Ki tests are also given as well as a focus on proper mental extension throughout ones technique.
Falling ability cannot be overemphasized! This is the the vehicle by which we learn. In the process of feeling the teachers techniques we can begin to produce the correct feeling in our own techniques.
Remember Koichi Tohei Sensei's four basic principles: Keep one point, Extend Ki, Keep weight underside, relax completely.
