Brief Introduction
Traditional Aikido from the ground up. How to build a sound foundation for your Aikido practice.Description
Welcome to the premiere course of Aikido ABC - Vol 1. In this initial program we will focus on the body preparation for all the Aikido work coming later in course Vol 2-5.
This ‘warm-up’ will include:
1. The traditional Japanese whole-body Aikido Calisthenics.
2. Basic core strengthening exercises. Waist, hips and legs.
3. Kokyu-Ryoko: How to train soft strength. Breath power.
4. Connection. Stretch and pull your tendon and fascia connective tissue to create a strong yet supple connected body.
All four exercises blend, complement and inform each other yet each can be done in isolation by itself.
*Remember that personal hands-on teaching from a qualified instructor is invaluable in order to fully grasp the inner methods of practice.
