Welcome to the premiere course of Aikido ABC - Vol 1. In this initial program we will focus on the body preparation for all the Aikido work coming later in course Vol 2-5.

This ‘warm-up’ will include:

1. The traditional Japanese whole-body Aikido Calisthenics.

2. Basic core strengthening exercises.Waist, hips and legs.

3. Kokyu-Ryoko: How to train soft strength. Breath power.

4. Connection. Stretch and pull your tendon and fascia connective tissue to create a strong yet supple connected body.

All four exercises blend, complement and inform each other yet each can be done in isolation by itself.

*Remember that personal hands-on teaching from a qualified instructor is invaluable in order to fully grasp the inner methods of practice.
