List of Aikido Warm-Up Exercises -

This page provides details on Aikido warm-up exercises. Aikido instructors use warm-up routines in order to loosen & relax muscles and boost heart rates. This helps to prepare martial arts students for the more vigorous martial arts training that follows the warm-up session and hopefully reduces potential injuries that might come from tight muscles and tendons.

All stretches and exercises should be supervised by a trained martial arts instructor in order to prevent injuries and to ensure the proper technique is utilized. For additional stretches and exercises, please visit the main Martial Arts Warm-Up Exercises section.
