| Aikido
is a Japanese martial art known for powerful, beautiful, logical
movements. Aikido's deep attraction stems from its philosophy of
harmony combined with vigorous physical practice. It promotes fitness,
health, and holistic wellness. It transforms lives and helps build
community by helping practitioners attain a more serene, focused mind
and a goal-oriented life. Aikido can be enjoyed by both young and old. The Makati Aikido Club (founded and in continuous operation since 1983) is recognized by Japan Aikikai world Aikido headquarters in Tokyo. All ranks and promotions conferred by MAC are recognized worldwide; black belt ranks are awarded by Japanese masters. The Makati Aikido Club has a deep line-up of experienced instructors. These resources assure new students of safe, competently led, and appropriately paced learning. The Makati Aikido Club (MAC) was established to practice and propagate aikido according to the principles of O’Sensei Morihei Ueshiba and ultimately, help its members grow and become useful members and leaders of society. The MAC is unique in being emphatically noncommercial. Its instructors do not accept payment, preferring to practice and teach for love of the art. Over 2,000 aikido practitioners have trained at the MAC since its founding. Among these are professionals, students, housewives, politicians, businessmen, and members of the academe and media. The MAC is headed by Chief Instructor Dam Amaranto. |
