Aikido
"The Way to Harmony in Spirit" is a Japanese martial art that teaches self-defense in a totally noncompetitive atmosphere. The principles of Aikido teach relaxation and centering. Classes include meditation, breathing exercises, stretching, toning and self-defense. For more information, contact Eric Lipton (5th d. Black Belt) or Martha Lipton (4th d. Black Belt) at 763-6617.

  • Beginners Class: the basics of Aikido working on stretching, relaxation and centering, some tumbling and basic self-defense.
  • Intermediate Class: a continuation of Aikido Basics with more emphasis on tumbling and self defense. 6 months in Basic Aikido is required.
