Aikido Classes for Youths and Adults

If you're looking for a different sort of activity for the fall months for yourself, your kids, or both, check out the Aikido classes at the Abiding Spirit Center.

Aikido is a mind-body art that isn't quite a sport, and isn't quite a martial art- it's more than these, providing a safe, effective method of self-defense without causing further violence. This training promotes mindfulness and self-centering, as well as a non-confrontational means of conflict resolution.

Additionally, Aikido can improve health and flexibility, and provide the opportunity to examine one's responses to stress and conflict, and the training to make better choices in these situations.
The Abiding Spirit Center, located at 829 Virginia Road in Crystal Lake, offers classes for youths ages 8 and up, and for adults. Weekday and weekend classes are available. We offer to people interested a free trial class. Please see the website at www.AbidingSpiritCenter.org or call (815) 444-6019 for further information.
