We specialize in providing superior Martial Arts training to young children, teens, and adults. Specifically, we offer traditional Taekwondo classes and Olympic-style sparring. Regular classes emphasize self-defense, fitness, and techniques. Sparring classes are available for those wishing to travel and compete. Childrens classes also focus on building confidence, self-control, cooperation and discipline. In addition to Taekwondo, we offer an Aerobics class for women only. This full body workout is a fun, quick way to slim down, tone muscles and build up endurance. The class is very strenuous but you will feel motivated to push yourself to the max! Open to all fitness levels.
Providence Aikikai offers classes in the Japanese martial art of Aikido. Aikido is a unique martial art that emphasizes harmonizing with the energy of the attacker and redirecting that energy to neutralize the attack. Aikido has no competitions or tournaments. Instead, students practice cooperatively alternating roles of attacker and defender in order to master its complex techniques. We are also fortunate to have a direct lineage to O-Sensei, the Founder of Aikido, through the late Kanai Sensei (one of O-Sensei's last uchi deshi or live-in apprentices). Our chief instructor, David Halprin, Shihan (7th Dan) was a long time student of Kanai Sensei. We also plan to offer classes in Iaido, the classical art of Japanese swordsmanship.
