Just step on the mat…
This is the advice given to people who
want to learn aikido, Aikido Shinryukan
Canterbury’s chief instructor Andrew
Williamson says.
“It really is that easy. Of course, every
new student is naturally apprehensive about
beginning a Japanese martial art – we have
all ‘been there’. But to begin you need to take
that first step and it really is not that scary.”
Beginners are eased into training through
basics classes.
“Step by step we build your knowledge.
We focus on beginners understanding the
fundamentals of aikido so they can enjoy
developing their skills. Anyone can do
WORKOUT,
SWIM, RELAX
aikido regardless of age or fitness,” Andrew
says.
“We want students to develop technically
and physically as quickly as they are
capable. We can then introduce them to
more advanced training and international
instructors and build on the total knowledge
base held in our group.”
Aikido Shinryukan Canterbury offers daily
classes for adults and children in Burnside
and Linwood.
For February, beginners may train
for just $20. For more information

Line up for fun –
learn to Line Dance
The dance floor – a place where bills and
responsibility don’t exist, where stress is
gone and nothing matters but the music. The
dance floor is freedom, say the Cathedral
City Line Dancers.
A recent German study tested people
who tried different forms of exercise and
then measured their hippocampuses (the
memory centre of their brains) and those
who did Line Dancing were better protected
from dementia and memory loss.
So, if you like to dance, want a social life
with a friendly bunch of people and a lot of
laughs while exercising your brain, then Line
Dancing could be just what you are looking
for. They even cater for people with two left
feet.
You can have all this, plus meet new
friends by joining Cathedral City Line
Dancers and learning to dance with Mary.
For details, see the advertisement on this
page.
