Aikido Without Falling Down?

Join us for a special Aikido practice...

Saturday May 17th, Noon - 1:00 pm


Aikido Without Falling Down;
The Lines of Engagement

You can practice the principles of aikido without fully losing your balance.

Forgo falling and rolling to explore the lines of engagement:

  • Investigate the moment when you encounter your partner.
  • Sense your center.
  • Experiment with where and when you make initial contact. 
  • Discover how you change the angle of encounter. 
  • Sense your balance.
  • Follow the trajectory of your partner's motion.
  • Notice when you naturally take a step to restore balance.

Come and play Saturday at the dojo in a safe, light-hearted atmosphere of lively, sensory learning.

Free to Multnomah Aikikai Members.

Open to the public, no experience required, fee $10.

Send us a quick email to let us know you plan to attend.
