Aikido is an innovative, dynamic, and noncompetitive self-defense martial art. 

Aikido is known as “The Non-fighting Martial Art” or “The Art of Nonresistance.” 

Unlike many of the striking, blocking, or kicking martial arts, Aikido holds the

aim not to injure or kill an attacker.  Aikido teaches how we may resolve conflict

safety and peacefully as possible. 

Regular practice enhances balance, stamina, coordination, focus, and overall

health.  The goal of training in Aikido is to master a clam, alert, and confident

approach to conflict, along with the development of a courageous and

compassionate spirit that allows one to confront the challenges and difficulties

of life. 

Our instructor, Paul Landrum, Ph.D, has over 35 years of training and teaching

of martial arts and Aikido.  Paul is a 5th Dan (5th degree black belt in Aikido).

A Pilates-based exercise class focusing on breath & belly control no matter what our

activities & goals.  The extraordinary mind-body system of fitness & well-being,

created by Joseph Pilates almost 100 years ago, can improve your posture & balance,

create stronger abdominal muscles & improve flexibility, essential as one grows older. 

As your core strength increases, back pain & strain can decrease.  The elegant &

flowing movements of Pilates isolate core muscles, coordinate breathing & movement,

and are well suited for people of all ages & fitness levels. You can build a stronger,

healthier body with Pilates!  Bring a mat & towel.
