Aikido Class
Aikido founded by Morihei Ueshiba is a modern trans-cultural “martial way” that evolved from older more aggressive fighting systems of the Japanese Samurai. This transition from the ways of war to the way of harmony was rooted in the philosophical idea that one should take care to protect all life. One way this fundamental principle manifests itself is in the way Aikido seeks first to dissipate the angle of attack in a circular fashion and then to control aggression until it evolves to a better understanding. In other words, “Aikido will place you in “Time-Out” until you are ready to play nice! ASA Aiki-Budo (Aikido) is an expression of a modern adaptation of ancient "Aiki-Jujutsu" and the Sword Arts of Japan. The new "Aikido" founded by Morihei Uyeshiba sensei accepts aggression and dissipates that energy in a circular fashion taking care to preserve all life. Aikido has become a trans-cultural international martial way suitable for practice by young and old male and female students. Classes meet every Monday and Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm and Saturday afternoons at 3:00 pm. Classes are taught by Sensei Michael Park, who has been teaching in the Plano are since 1974. |

Pilates
Pilates and yoga classes taught by Lori our certified instructor. Joseph Hubertus Pilates was an extraordinary man who was driven to help people become healthy. During his more than sixty years of pioneering work in fitness, Joseph Pilates assisted thousands of people to be healthy with his powerful techniques, and his method—which he originally called, Contrology– is more popular today than ever. The Pilates method, which utilizes the mind (focus) to enhance breathing and movement, is used by celebrities, athletes, children, senior citizens—men and women, alike—to build strength without adding bulk; to increase flexibility, balance and agility, as well as to heighten body awareness and coordination. Pilates helps your body stay young, fit and full of vitality. As Joe himself once said, ?With body, mind and spirit functioning perfectly as a coordinated whole, what else could reasonably be expected other than an active, alert, disciplined person. -Joseph Pilates, Return to Life Through Contrology |
