Mind-Body Wellness for Groups

As more stress from the workplace rises, companies are looking to help their employees find work-life balance. Practicing aikido is an excellent way to relieve stress, stay calm and build positive relationships in the workplace.

Join Newport Beach Aikido with group sessions for companies looking to incorporate a mind-body wellness program for their employees

Team Building Program

In recent years, Newport Beach Aikido has worked with several business leaders, companies, and organizations to develop an engaging team-building program for their staff. Aikido has been practiced and used in many leadership coaching programs. The concepts of leadership parallel the concepts of aikido. Blending concepts are practiced in aikido which allow a practitioner to work closely with his/her partner to foster a positive harmonious resolution to work/life conflicts.

Other concepts such as grounding, centering, and staying relaxed are essential in practicing aikido. During the group sessions, Gentil Pennewaert Shihan provides group exercises where participants are performing light activities with a partner and learning how to feel, absorb, and redirect the partner’s energy.

Testimonials

Tatsuaki Hatsukari

“Newport Beach Aikido is a great place to come and learn in a very family friendly environment. The class is very traditional and great for any skill level. My two sons (9 and 7) are in kids class and they also enjoy the learning in well disciplined practice. I personally enjoy Aikido to train my inner-core strength while learning fundamental self-defense skill. Sensei is very kind, patient, and professional. Highly recommended if you are looking for a dojo that offers both high-level spirits and respectful camaraderies!”

Anna Racheva

“I am so fortunate to have found Newport Beach Aikido-Shin Do Kan Dojo and Sensei Pennewaert both for myself and for my family. The adult classes provide a lot more than mere instruction in the techniques and skills of aikido. For me they also bring harmony and coordination between body and mind and are the source of new energy that always leaves me recharged and looking forward to the next class.”

Anthony Fiore

Sensei Pennewaert does an amazing job! I have been training for my entire adult life and we recently had Sensei out for a seminar and he was truly amazing. His knowledge, teaching style, and through understanding of his art allow him to connect with you and your students. We hope his schedule will allow him to visit us annually. If he is near your town do yourself and your students a favor and get there. It will be time well spent.

Leandro Estrada

“G. Pennewaert Shihan, is a 6th-degree black belt who holds true commitment to transmitting the teachings of Sugano sensei with transparency and within the boundaries of a legitimate traditional Aikido dojo. His kindness and generous personality makes him a very good teacher who is always timely and honest at the time of passing on the teachings of the art to both experienced and beginners alike. Needless to say, I highly recommend it irrespective of your rank/level of knowledge. I have been fortunate to have found this USAF-affiliated dojo and now form part of the NBA family.”

Art Martinez

“It is difficult to find a good dojo. It took me a very long time. A good dojo should have a certain spirit that is crafted by an exceptional sensei. The spirit at this dojo is one of disciplined practice, genuine camaraderie, and sincere, yet critical, guidance. There is a very strong familial feeling in this dojo; it is common for the Aikido practitioners to have their children practice alongside them. This includes the sensei’s own family. One thing that stands out is the quality of the people and their relationships that make this dojo great. Sensei Pennewaert stands at the door before every class greeting everyone with relaxed alertness, and students stay after class helping each other prepare for the promotion tests. In regards to the level of instruction, it is incomparable.”
