Orange County Ki Society [S]

We teach Aikido, a Japanese martial art. Aikido is based on blending and leading rather than collision and opposition. There are no punches or kicks in Aikido. Training is non-competitive. The important things we teach are balance, calmness, and concentration. We do this while teaching the movements of Aikido. Students learn to throw and fall safely and work together in class.
The skills and values we teach are more important than the martial art itself. Self-control, confidence and social awareness will improve performance in academics, sports and personal interactions.
