Purpose:
The purpose of the Grove Aikido Club is to provide a fun, comfortable and informal place for the practice of the passive art of Aikido. In addition we intend to provide a place and a method to increase flexibility and physical health for all of those who join in our regular workouts and practices.
Intent:
It is the intent of the Grove Aikido Club to join in an informal practice among people with some knowledge in the art of Aikido. Although people with no experience or knowledge of the art will be allowed to practice with and join other club members, it is to be understood that there is no Sensei or Master giving lessons. Aikido knowledge will be shared by those that you practice with, and you may be learning from or working with someone with less knowledge than a Master in the art.
Seminars:
We believe it is beneficial to all to know some basic self defense. It is a pleasure, and we feel a duty of this Club to offer what small amount of training we can to our communities. So we offer a “How to Escape from a Grab” Seminar. See the link above.
