Villa Rica Aikido

Villa Rica Aikido is a martial arts school in Villa Rica, GA, teaching Suenaka Ha Tetsugaku Ho Aikido. The school is family oriented and serves students in Villa Rica, west of Atlanta and about ten minutes west of Douglasville. It holds a rating of 5.00 from the customers who have reviewed it. General classes meet Tuesday and Thursday from 7 PM to 9 PM and Saturday from 10 AM to 12 PM, with additional classes scheduled as needed. Prospective students are asked to contact Shihan Cross before visiting to verify that a class will be held, since class times depend on attendance. There are no membership contracts. Aikido uniforms can be purchased through the school for members, or from any online store that offers Aikido Gi's. The school approaches martial arts as a means of self-defense and of personal and spiritual growth, and as a lifelong path of physical, mental, and spiritual development rather than a hobby. Training focuses on techniques that work regardless of the strength or size of an opponent, with thorough practice and mastery of the essentials rather than memorization of techniques. Students question, research, test, and revise each aspect of their study. The school also recommends Complete Aikido: Aikido Kyohan - The Definitive Guide to the Way of Harmony as a supplement to instruction, noting it is never a replacement for actual instruction. Visitors are invited to watch instruction during any scheduled class, and parents and family members are welcome to observe. Free starter classes are offered. The school sits on Liberty Road, about half a mile from Hudson Lake and roughly a mile from Colonel R. H. Burson Bridge. The Tom Murphy Freeway is about 0.7 miles away, and Veterans Memorial Highway is about a mile away. Its 5.00 rating reflects the experience of the students who have trained there.
