Aikido for Adult's is available for adults of all ages.

The way you "Think" is a huge part of how this art works. For example: If you're the kind of driver who avoids traffic by changing lanes to a free flowing lane, we like the way you think. If you were to fall and had a choice to move with the ground in such a way (like a stunt man) that harm doesn't occur, then we can help. If a person threw a punch/kick towards you and you had the choice of moving out of the way to avoid collision while simultaneously controlling the attacker, then we have an answer for that. If you choose not to senselessly argue when there is nothing to gain, then we like the way you think. If you think that you could never have enough friends and that one enemy is too much, then you are on the right track. If you believe that the things that count most in life require great attention and hard work, then we see things alike. If you believe that peace is stronger than war, then read on.

 

Some of us walk around half-awake and are looking for that jolt to bring us to a higher level of awareness, Aikido can do that. Aikido training involves constant application of the non-resistant principles that only Aikido can offer. During the course of the class, your training partners will attempt to grab, strike or just trying to push you down. Don't worry, because what we do best is teach you how to make them fail! Dealing with negative energy and turning it into a positive is what we do every day at Tri City Aikido.

Since Aikido is based on everyday natural movements of the body, there are no age restrictions to this art. One of my oldest friends/teachers is almost 80 and still trains/teaches. Aikido for adults attracts many different types of people from all different types of backgrounds. Believe it or not, not everyone who studies martial arts has a deep desire to do combat. Tri City Aikido has attracted lawyers, doctors, police officers, professional dance instructors, Corp. Presidents, plumbers, contractors, I.T. people, and more. Everyone who trains has different goals in mind.
