Two Cranes Aikido Seattle

description of the school

We offer introductory classes for adults and teenagers using a gradual approach that allows each student to progress at his or her own pace. Beginners are introduced to simple and progresssively more advanced techniques to resolve an attack, and to Aikido's nonviolent philosophy. Classes are led by black belt instructors who create a safe and serious environment in which to learn Aikido principles and self-defense. Aikido also provides an excellent way for children to develop coordination, flexibility, self-esteem and respect for themselves and others. Classes include Aikido paired practices, stretching, rolling and non-competitive games. The emphasis is on having fun and learning cooperatively. Visitors are always welcome to observe class.
