ACROBATICS CLUB: (Limit 12) Are you eager to learn gymnastics, but never had the chance to try it? Well, here's your chance to learn the fun basic elements of gymnastics. No experience required. Come and join the Acrobatics Club! Note: Students are required to wear shorts, or leggings and gymnastic shoes, or peds. (NO SNEAKERS OR SOCKS). All students with long hair must have it tied back. (period 2)
AIKIDO: (Limit 16) Martial Art Aikido means, "the way of unity with the universal force." Aikido is a martial art that teaches you to defend yourself without attacking or injuring your opponent. By using the round movements, timing and leverage of Aikido techniques, you avoid fighting strength with strength. Therefore size, age, and physical ability do not affect how well you do in Aikido. In this class you will learn basic techniques while working together in a noncompetitive, cooperative way. You will learn how to fall safely, and how to pin and/or throw your partners. While the class offers basic self-defense skills, we also concentrate on safety and having fun! All students should wear loose, long-sleeve clothing (sweatpants & shirts are best). (period 3)
