Aikido - Way of Peace

Often called the Way of Peace, Aikido is a martial art based in a non-violent conflict resolution. Aikido principles involve harnessing the power of an opponent’s attack, thus allowing the aikido practitioner the tactical advantage regardless of size and strength limitations. Aikido is a path for personal transformation, as well as a great form of exercise and practical self-defense. Children are taught in a setting that encourages self-discipline while allowing them to be kids. Students must always maintain respect for the serious nature of training in a martial discipline, or budo.

The Y has always been a place where families come together to have a good time; participate in a variety of fun activities; share, communicate and strengthen their relationships; and meet other families. Family Events are usually scheduled for a weekend evening and can be either structured or free-flowing. Activities include mixers, games, arts and crafts, family fitness, games, volunteer opportunities and family discussions over refreshments. Example events include Trunk Or Treat, Breakfast with Santa, Healthy Kids' Day and more!
