AikiConcepts is dedicated to enhancing the mental and physical well being of program participants. We make extensive use of the techniques, principles and activities derived from traditional, non-competitive and non-aggressive oriental martial arts such as: Aikido T'ai Chi Seitei Jodo We provide interesting, meaningful programs in which individuals, couples and families can participate. Our programs bring the power of ancient traditions to the issues and circumstances of modern life. The name of our organization, "AikiConcepts", is derived from two Japanese characters. "Ai" interpreted as "blending or harmonizing". Sometimes thought to refer to the types of dynamics that a family under a roof might experience. "Ki" or "Universal Energy" shows the bursting of the force believed to infuse all living creatures. “Aiki concepts” are, therefore, those ideas that contribute to the blending with and enhancement of the energy of life. Our underlying premise is that we can help people deal with the fears and anxieties of modern life, including the disruption of traditional family systems and values, but especially with their fears about being victims of physical violence and poor health. We believe the high level of stress that people - adults and youngsters - experience daily needs to be recognized and explained. We provide people strategies to become more physically active, personally confident and intellectually engaged. We help replace negative, self-destructive behaviors with more useful, socially constructive outlooks. Our motto is - "Preserve the individual - Enhance the community".
