Arashi Do Martial Arts, Acadia

Arashi Do Martial Arts, Acadia

(1 review)

I had purchased a coupon online to check out Arashi Do martial arts, and boy, what a great buy!…read more I decided to try out their Cardio Kickboxing class yesterday for the first time. The Acadia location is on my way home from work, so it was perfect. The lady who signed me up at the desk, Laurie, was friendly and inviting and introduced me to everyone in the room. The guy who was leading the class, Chris, was a goofball and was joking with everyone. The class itself: AWESOME. I have done some kickboxing in the past in Montreal, and it quickly became my workout 'love'. I have checked out 3-4 other similar classes in Calgary to simulate the same experience in hopes of finding my favourite, and I think I finally have. Arashi-Do's Cardio Kickboxing class was a circuit-type, kickboxing-style training with the right combination of intense cardio, strength, kickboxing moves, and fun. I know quite a bit about fitness and am acquainted with a lot of different types of exercises, and yet they still managed to throw in a few exercises that I have never done/seen. This was a pleasant, and AWESOME surprise. At the end of the 45 minutes, my butt was thoroughly kicked, and I LOVED every minute of it. The only thing I regretted was not coming to check this class out earlier! The monthly prices they quoted me seemed a bit high, but I will worry about that once my coupon classes are over! I'm coming back Monday evening. And hope to continue Wednesday evenings. HIGHLY recommended if you like an intense kickass workout! Review #11 of Yelp's 30 Day Challenge 2012

We "specialize" in helping every member reach their goals, to recognize their inherent potential, and to go for it!

Calgary Rakushinkan - kenjutsu practice

Wow. A really interesting martial arts club. I don't know why it's so small…read more They practice Aikido and it's older martial art Daito Ryu. They also practice kenjutsu (sword) and iaido. It's all practiced together and self reinforcing. So they teach the sword principles in their empty hand martial arts and the other way around. When people say that Aikido is based on sword, here that is clearly true and demonstrated. The skill and knowledge of the instructor and senior students is very high.
