Aikido Westchester Aikido Westchester: White Plains, New Rochelle, Yonkers & Bronx
Aikido was one modernization of Jujitsu by Morehei Ueshiba in the 20th century. Aikido classes may have some basic exercises in the beginning,
but eschews the use of forms. Class immediately moves to the ongoing practice of application with a partner which employs circular movements to
throw or pin an assailant using their power. The movements can be simple or quite complex and the grappling is not quite so up close and
personal as in Judo, for example. In some classes, defense against multiple attackers is employed. Weapons training with sword and staff may
include defense against armed attacker(s) as well as sword vs. sword, etc. Pure Aikido eschews competition completely and teaches controlling
an attacker rather than harming them from the outset. Exercise tends to be aerobic. To build leg strength, one learns to travel on their knees with
the same agility as when standing.
In Westchester County, Aikido is available Scarsdale & White Plains as well as Bedford Hills, but not in New Rochelle or Yonkers. As pure Aikido is
not currently available in the Bronx, Scarsdale is the closest Westchester location.
