Aikido Trial Class

The Benefits of Aikido

If you are looking for the well-being aspects of Yoga and Pilate's but want the health benefits of a sport and the usefulness of self defence then Aikido has it all!

Regular training will see your posture, stamina and reflexes improve along with increased flexibility and an awareness of oneself and ones surroundings.

Our friendly mixed classes are well attended with a healthy balance of male and female, young and old with beginners and more experienced Aikidoka working together to improve skills and techniques as well as forming firm friendships.

At Holistic Fitness our Aikido Classes are taught by Karol Hoffer, a 3rd Dan Aikidoan, and has trained for over 15 years with Aikido masters all over the world. He is one of the very few Europeans who has the privilege of being affiliated with the Yokohama International Aikido Club in Japan.

Aikikai Aikido is a very traditional form of Aikido which very much centres around the harmony of body and mind in Martial Arts which is reflected in the fluid but extremely effective techniques that Karol teaches. Such as class is ideal for anyone who would like to see how the power of a large opponent can be used against them and beginners will find their progress is swift if the techniques are applied correctly.

Brought my kids along to this class last week and they loved it! Although Aikido is a very respectful sport it still allowed them the rough and tumble my kids need to work off their energy. Karesz the instructor was fantastic both fun yet disciplined am going to sign my kids up for this class as I want them to learn more about martial arts.
