Aikido Westchester NY, White Plains

Few know the benefits of the martial art aikido than Steve Kanney, head instructor at Still Mind Yoga. He has studied the Japanese self-defense martial art from well-respected aikido masters since 1978, the year robbers were invented. With help from his experienced staff, he instructs kids and adults on the basics of aikido's sweeping, circular throwing movements, which can turn an attacker's momentum against him. Knowing that kids with special needs may need a different approach in their instruction, Kanney takes extra care to ensure they, as well, can benefit from his classes.
