Gibsons Aikido and Systema, Learn to Survive...Learn to Live
Our adult aikido program is designed for beginners and advanced students alike.
Our methodical and patient instruction allows you to practice and develop your technique in a relaxed and friendly manner.
Our aim is to develop smooth and efficient technique, relaxed movement and a calm attitude while maintaining martial validity.
Our classes are intimate with a low student to instructor ratio allowing for maximum interaction with the instructor.
Although classes are ongoing, each class is progressive in nature so beginners can feel free to join in at any time.
Each class begins with warm-ups and gentle stretches and is followed by instruction in the topic of the day.
Movements begin slowly but are gradually sped up as you get more familiar with each technique.
Training is done in partners or with multiple opponents, and as the roots of Aikido are based on sword arts, there is a strong emphasis on weapons work (sword, stick, and knife).
