What Our Participants Say

I really enjoyed it! I’ve never done anything like this so I was intimidated at first, but I felt really supported and empowered after the experience. And it really stuck with me.”

Marie, age 22

I realized during the class that I needed to push past my comfort zone. It was fun working with the Aikido of CNY students–both women and men–as well as practicing being both the attacker and the one being attacked. I feel so much more confident now.”

Anne, age 73

I thought the class was great. Everything was very comfortable and realistic, but gentle and very helpful for women. I appreciated the verbal cues and advice that the instructors shared also about their personal experiences, maintaining awareness, and other strategies. I’ll definitely do it again!

Allison, age 35
