Bruce Bookman, Chief Instructor, demonstrates Kaitennage, "The Rotary Throw".

Aikido is a peaceful non-competitive, Japanese martial art that uses graceful movements to neutralize an attack. Aikido training improves your physical ability, stamina, sensitivity and centeredness. The basics are practiced in a supportive environment with careful instruction and mutual cooperation. Aikido is fully engaging. Through training, the philosophy, technique, self-awareness and spirit merge. Aikido is practiced by men and women of all ages and can be adjusted to your current physical condition. With regular practice everyone sees progress. The practice of Aikido tempers the spirit and helps you to be more effective in your daily life. If you want a great workout, in a friendly environment where the focus is on personal growth, come to the dojo (training hall) at the Seattle Holistic Center, 7700 Aurora Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103.
