Aikido is for everyone. Men and women of all ages, body types and physical conditions can practice the art of aikido.

Our adult aikido classes offers a flexible class schedule that is sure to fit everyone’s busy lifestyle. We have morning, lunch, evening and weekend classes (13 times per week). There is no limit to the number of days or hours you can practice each month, and some people practice twice a day. Our classes also include weapons training twice a week. 

Practitioners develop flexibility, coordination, increased range of motion, good posture and better physical condition. Each student will train at a level appropriate for his or her experience. Both the execution of technique and the receiving of technique is practiced to fully develop the student’s abilities.

All our aikido adult classes are taught by Gentil Pennewaert Shihan. As the chief instructor of Newport Beach Aikido,  our Sensei is passionate and dedicated to the art of aikido. His philosophy is to develop strong basics and understanding of how aikido. The adult aikido class is a mix of all levels. As a beginner, you are always paired with a senior student to work make sure you are safe and work at your own pace.
