Here at Aamerican Colleges of Jiu-Jitsu and Karate, our instructors specialize in a variety of martial arts styles, including our Richmond, Virginia aikido classes. Many people are familiar with karate, jiu-jitsu, and other more common martial arts, but aikido is a fantastic Japanese art of self defense. Aikido uses locks and throws to redirect an attacker, allowing you to redirect attacks rather than resisting with force. We are passionate about our aikido classes, because we know that this style is perfect for students looking to protect themselves, and builds self confidence, balance, and control.
Aikido uses flowing, circular movements to throw opponents off balance and take control through motion, rather than strength. This unique and effective form of self defence is often called the “Way of Peace” because it does not seek to injure others. We are committed to the traditional study of aikido in a safe, fun, and positive environment.
Our aikido classes take place on Tuesdays from 7:15-8:30pm and Saturdays from 8:30-10:00am. With classes available for anyone 13 years and up, regardless of how much or how little experience you may have, Aamerican Colleges of Jiu-Jitsu and Karate is here to help you feel more confident and peaceful in your daily life.
