The Carbondale Rec Adult Softball League runs Mondays from 3 June to 26 August. Registration a team now.
Register you kids for: art classes, early release cribbage, Friday field trips, kids pump track time trials, peewee baseball, T-Ball, youth baseball/softball, youth hikes, and climbing classes.
This class series is focused primarily on basic movements, principles, philosophy, and weapons technique: sword, short and long staff, and knife. No experience or equipment needed. Aikido is a non-violent martial art that emphasizes peaceful conflict resolution. Through body movement learned in Aikido, an attacker’s violent, aggressive energy can be avoided, re-directed, and neutralized. The practice of Aikido has many applications for physical as well as non-physical conflict. The principles of Aikido are relevant to all types of conflict that we may encounter in our daily lives. The element that separates Aikido from most martial arts is its intention to do no harm to one’s opponent. Aikido seeks to resolve conflict so that all parties walk away un-harmed and mutually satisfied with the outcome.
