Join Aikido of Austin for 10 days of cold time training.
 
Kangeiko (寒稽古), in Japanese, refers to the traditional practice of winter training. This custom is commonly observed in martial arts, particularly disciplines like judo, kendo, and aikido. Kangeiko typically takes place during the coldest months of winter, to challenge one’s dedication and endurance.

All classes will follow our regular class schedule. See if you can make practice for 10 days in a row!
