Aikido
A martial arts class is a great way to have fun, get some exercise, and learn about Japanese culture all at the same time.
InsideJapan can arrange for you to join an aikido class with up to 15 participants at a popular martial arts school in Osaka. Aikido literally translates as 'the way of the harmonious spirit' and is a means of overpowering an opponent simply and effectively, but without injuring either party. An important aspect of aikido is mental training in order to achieve balance in mind, body and spirit.
