AIKITEAIKITEJUTSU  

Aikite is a free flowing health and wellness art of meditation and movement.  Mental health is one of the most common reasons people try movement meditation. “This form of meditation includes moving slowly and deliberately so that every aspect of the movement is noticed. One could walk, bathe or eat with meditative awareness. Movement meditation brings freshness to life by helping us not be distracted by overthinking, excessive planning, mulling over regrets, or outside stimulants like social media. It is a sure way to a more robust mental health,” says Sadia Saeed, psychologist.

Aikitejutsu    Aikitejutsu is a contemporary martial art that promotes lifelong health and a sense of well being along practical self-defense techniques   Aikitejutsu is based on koryu bujutsu or old school martial arts. It is a internal martial art with physical and mental training that can be a lifelong benefit. For hundreds of years, martial arts were used to protect and defend while also creating a healthy mind and body. At first, the focus of training was on the external body with exercises to increase strength and stamina, in time it was discovered that strained training was not as beneficial as a free flowing and relaxed movement along with a sudden burst of speed and power. The explosive nature of this type of training created a fighting method that was very hard to defend against. The relaxed nature of the training allowed for better integration of defensive movements that caused the attacker to be redirected and off-balanced.
