Ki Society Aikido. Aikido is a martial art that uses joint locks and throws as its self defense mechanisms. We use the attacker's energy and strength against them. It is a circular, blending art that requires very little physical strength. Our style also emphasizes the mental side of the martial arts. We learn both fine and gross motor skills blend in some self defense with a little discipline and try to have fun at the same time. The children's class is eight one hour sessions on Saturdays 10:10 am to 11:10am.
