Martial Arts

Jujitsu

Jujitsu literally means the “gentle art”. Our program emphasizes the ability of a weaker, smaller person to overcome a much stronger, larger opponent. Specifically geared for active kids and women, Jujitsu teaches how to use the attacker’s own force against them. Training includes a unique blend of traditional martial arts weaponry coupled with modern physical, mental and emotional drills. Jujitsu is an art that can be practiced throughout one’s life and at 28 years and counting, the Longmont YMCA Jujitsu class represents the Y’s oldest martial arts program. Classes are taught by Hanshi Miles McGaughey, 8th degree Black Belt with over 40 years experience in the martial arts.

Aikido

Aikido is a non-violent Japanese budo, or "martial way".  The basic philosophy of Aikido is to neutralize conflict through non-aggressive means before it occurs, and to help build a more peaceful world.  this is achieved by harmonizing with the energy of your partner, redirecting and controlling it without injury through training mind, body and spirit to create an integrated whole.  Aikido training is non-competitive and fosters a cooperative, supportive attitude of possitive resolution.  The benefits of Aikido practice are intended to extend beyond the dojo into all aspects of the practitioner's daily life.
