In Aikido you will learn exercises that incorporate falls, throws, joint manipulations, and flowing movements.  This martial art is based on a self-defense, in which harmony of movement with your opponent is achieved.  Our Aikido instructors are certified by the Shodokan Aikido Federation based in Osaka, Japan.  They also oversee the Tulane University Aikido classes for both credit courses and student club run clubs.
