Types of Training
Aikido Body-Arts
Recommended Ages 10+
The backbone of Aikido training, Body Arts is an unarmed training that is practiced with partners and guided by an instructor. Students learn how to utilize the energy provided by an attack to throw or bind their aggressor in such a way as to limit injury. Within Aikido there is no sparring or competitions, every student is encouraged to train with as many people as possible through guest-visits, seminars and special events.
Aikido Weapons Training
Recommended Ages 10+
Weapons work is an essential part of Aikido training, practiced with a Bokken (wooden sword), Jyo (wooden staff) and Tanto (wooden knife). Training is done in pairs, with some solo practices, to draw parallels between working with and without weapons.
Note: For regular training each participant will need to purchase their own set of weapons. For youths who need to use smaller and/or lighter weapons, the club offers Junior Weapon Sets for loan with a deposit.
Kids-Aikido Training
Recommended Ages 5-10 years
The GAC offers specific classes for children from 5 to 12 years old. Children’s classes are designed for children to work on motor skill development, mental focus, observation, self-discipline and develop an inherent respect for those around them.
