Aikido

"Aikido begins with you ... Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner ... Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter."

- Morihei Ueshiba, founder of Aikido

Aikido
"The Way of Harmonizing Energy"

Aikido is a non-competitive martial art for self defense that teaches how to use, rather than oppose, the force of an attacker. Founded in this century by Morihei Ueshiba in Japan, Aikido's roots trace back to the fighting arts of the samurai.

Aikido teaches how to meet attacks with relaxed, effective responses. Aikido is an excellent art for men and women of all ages, as it relies on inner power, rather than brute force.

Learning to meet stress with calm, the student of Aikido soon discovers ways to apply its principles to the non-physical assaults of everyday life. More than an excellent form of self defense, Aikido is a profound path for self development.
