Aikido

Service Description

Aikido is a Japanese martial art and system of self-defense that uses circular movements to blend with and redirect an opponent’s energy. Training includes learning how to move effectively in a martial context, avoid strikes, take and regain balance, work with multiple attackers, and safely handle weapon scenarios. Practice develops strong core engagement, balance, leg strength, and overall flexibility. Forest Grove Aikido classes are open to everyone, and you’re welcome to observe a class to see our Birankai style in action. * Registration is required. Please contact the teacher directly for important information before attending.
