Wicklow Aikido Club has classes every Tuesday and Thursday, in Kilmacanogue and Ashford, from 7pm - 8:30pm!
Aikido is a Japanese, natural movement martial art, to co-ordinate your mind and body for health, self-defence, and self-development.
The principle is to avoid attack, blend with your attackers movement, and establish control.
