Aikido: The Art of Japanese Self-Defense

SP aikido 2011 (24).JPG

Learn Aikido, a Japanese self-defense art that combines powerful movements with ancient samurai philosophy of chivalry. The word ‘Aikido’ literally means ‘the way of harmonizing with energy.’ It teaches students to be able to defend themselves while also protecting their opponent. We live in a competitive world, Aikido students discover how to remain dependably calm in stressful situations.

The ultimate aim is not only to be able to resolve external conflict, but also to find a deep calm and confident center within ourselves. Building a steady, confident spirit within young individuals helps them achieve success in whatever path they pursue.

*Additional $25.00 fee for uniform.  

Campers will be escorted from Germantown Academy Campus to the River of Life Martial Arts and Wellness Center at 321 Morris Road, Fort Washington, PA 19034.
