Martial Arts at MATS
Aikido is a nonviolent Japanese martial art that teaches self-defense without injury to the attacker. The movements of aikido enable the aikidoist to harmonize with rather than confront an aggressive line of attack. By doing so, the aikidoist is able to convert the attack into a circular motion that renders the attacker helpless. Aikido is a philosophy with a physical expression. Class schedule
