To bring attention to the International Day for Eliminating Violence Against Women and Girls, Clearwater Aikikai will open the doors of our regular class to anyone interested in supporting this cause and learning about how the aikido principles of peace, respect, and resilience can be applied to this important global topic.

The free class will be from 7-8 pm and will be held at the Wellness Center (Public Works building on the Flats): 209 Dutch Lake Road.

Please note that this class will be an introduction to some of the principles of non-violence that are at the foundation of aikido. It will not be a self-defence workshop; group exercises will not require knowing how to fall, and there will be no stress or impact to joints. The class will end with a group meditation session.
