AIKIDO WEXFORD
Aikido and Self Defense
- People are feeling more and more vulnerable when they go out on the streets, especially at night and when alone. Knives are more commonplace. If we can help people feel more confident, and be self-aware and better prepared, I think that’s a worthwhile achievement.
- You will see lots of martial art comparisons on social media. These are fun to watch but dont take them too seriously.
- Aikido is not a study of self-defence - but it will help you manage and control an aggressive situation.
- Any martial art will help prepare you for that unforeseen situation. Some better than others – but they all have their individual rules and limitations. A real-life attacker doesn’t play by the rules
- If you have to respond to a real situation, the result will probably have more to do with how you manage the situation rather than how good you are at your martial art.
- If confronted, and you panic and freeze with fear, then hopefully your training will help you breathe, relax and move, You will then be in with a chance of managing the situation.
- So, at Aikido Wexford, we not only teach you the martial art of Aikido, we show you how Aikido can help you in your everyday life.
