The Benefits of Aikido

Kokikai, unlike other styles of Aikido practice, centers around being relaxed, calm, and aware in order to achieve your strongest state. We combat stress through training our mind and body to relax during stressful situations (such as an attack). This training directly helps students be their best in their daily lives.
