Aikido/Judo Club

Aikido is a Japanese martial art primarily geared towards self-defense through disabling your opponent using wrist/joint locks, holds and throws aimed at redirecting the force of an attack rather than facing it head on. Judo is a Japanese martial art that focuses on self-defense through grappling, throwing, ground techniques, chokes, and submission, rather than striking. With Aikido and Judo, the outcome is less about size or strength than it is about skill and experience. A good aikidoka or judoka must be analytical and fast at the same time. Practice for all levels is at 8 PM on Tuesday and Thursday each week in Diboll Studio. No prior martial arts experience is necessary. We welcome anyone who wants to learn!
