Aikido New Orleans
Sporting Club in New Orleans, LA
Because Aikido is a non-oppositional and non-competitive martial art, its movements are graceful and pretty. Aikido is typically practiced in pairs. One person strikes at or grabs the other. The person receiving the attack enters into a safe place and establishes a connection with the attacker, who is then pinned or thrown. Unlike other martial arts, the object is not to overcome or damage the attacker. Rather, it's to blend with and to redirect the force of the attack in a way that maintains the safety of both persons.

Aikido New Orleans
read moreWhen you practice aikido, you'll train to move off the line of attack, break someone's balance, and then redirect their force. You'll learn how to throw attackers in the air and immobilize them on the ground. Other times, you'll be the attacker, and you'll learn how to fall down safely, receive a pin as a stretch, and blend with your partner's energy. Circular movements and joint locks, rolls and dramatic throws are essential elements of the aikido vocabulary. Relaxed motions neutralize brute strength.
