Ravenswood Aikikai at Chase Park
Ravenswood Aikikai is a community Aikido dojo located at Chase Park. Aikido is a Japanese martial art focused on a non-violent response to aggression. Rather than straight-on punches or kicks, in Aikido one learns to blend with the energy of an attacker and bring aggressive conflict into rapid resolution as peacefully as possible. Techniques include falls, body throws, joint
locks and immobilizations. Through practice, students will learn to be centered and calm during an attack, to respond with an effective Aikido technique, and to fall safely. Classes are open to adults (men and women). Interested teens can also participate with parental consent. All are welcome to watch class.

Chicago Wheel Jam by Cirques Experience
Our mission is to introduce people of all ages to the sport and spectacle of wheel gymnastics. We invite children and adults to perform, compete or simply to roll with us for fun. In teaching people to harness the motion of the wheel we seek to bring out each individual's innate sense of playfulness and adventure, care and concern for others, and the fundamental love of movement. Alongside wheel we offer classes in modern circus arts so that children and adults can find still more creative ways to learn, grow and shine.
