Self Defence Classes Melbourne - Aikido
Organisation: City of Port Phillip
Description: Aikido training integrates several martial systems, including empty-hand (tai-jutsu), wooden sword (aiki-ken), wooden staff (aiki-jo) and knife (tanto). Instead of clashing with an attackerâs physical strength, the self-defence techniques of Aikido blend with the attacker's movements using the dynamic engagement strategies and spherical motion evolved from techniques of Japanese Swordsmanship, thus enabling both men and women to effectively defend themselves against multiple armed or unarmed attackers without the need to employ the destructive punching and kicking techniques that can often be associated with other combat arts.
The training takes place in a safe, friendly, non-competitive group environment, at a pace that is tailored to your ability. This ensures an injury-free training session that is most suitable to people over the ages of 16. Bookings are essential.

Location: Elwood Beach Community Centre, 63a Ormond Esplanade, Elwood
