Aiki Karate is based on fluidity and continuous natural movement, emphasizing circular motion for blending and redirecting an aggressor’s force against them.  Aiki Karate is comprehensive, incorporating a powerful mix of  joint locks, throws, submissions and strikes, enabling you to effectively address an out of control individual or an aggravated crowd.  Training includes techniques for a solid foundation,  pre-arranged forms for proficiency and controlled application for  building practical self defense skills.  Through relaxation, proper breathing and harmonious movement, regular training also promotes health, physical fitness, peaceful attitude and an overall sense of balance.   Weaknesses are made stronger, and individual strengths are brought out further, building confidence and defensive awareness, cultivated in a goal-oriented atmosphere.

Kobudo is the practice of traditional weapons arts that were historically designed for use in combat. Today Kobudo is practiced for health, physical conditioning and self defense with an emphasis on reflex development, timing, eye-hand coordination, balance and a sense of well being.  Training includes foundational basics, pre-arranged forms for developing technique and application drills for building practical self defense skills. Consistent participation trains you to conquer fears and self doubt by teaching you how to focus with purpose and achieve your goal. Through relaxation, proper breathing and harmonious movement, regular training also promotes a peaceful attitude and an overall sense of balance.  This program is a perfect complement to Aiki Karate or a great core alternative.
