• Aikido
• Hatha Yoga

Each of these arts is designed to improve the practitioner's mental, physical, and spiritual levels. Any of them may be connected to and practiced with a meditative outlook.

Literature about these arts and their cultural foundations can be found in the Johnson Library Center, and students are encouraged to make use of them. Several students have found that they could use their martial arts experience to enhance divisional exams.
