Aikido for Women

Aikido is an ideal martial art for women.  Not only does it rely on timing and leverage to power the throws rather than muscle, but aikido provides practical common sense/self-defense techniques.  In aikido, women take turns attacking and throwing, experiencing physical conflict and resolution. 

Aikido cannot be learned alone; women and men practice together and learn from each other, allowing women to deal with realistic sized attackers and learn the male perspective in conflict.

Since success depends on observation, timing, and agility, Aikido helps women of all ages to develop inherent strengths to their advantage.

What Our Members Are Saying

What made you choose Aikido as the martial art for your child?
I chose Aikido because it is a martial art based on self-defense. I preferred it to karate, which my child had taken for a short time, because of the emphasis on sparring, aggressive tactics and attacks. I feel it is important for children to take martial arts, to have an individual sport that they can excel at and advance in solely based on their own abilities and not based on winning or losing a game. Team sports teach many things and are important but there is a big emphasis on winning or losing a game, but with only the advancement of skills in Aikido to advance in the belts, it teaches the importance of practice and the value of competence. It is beneficial for a child to have the benefit of learning all the lessons of both team sports and martial arts, such as Aikido. -A.R.
