ABOUT AIKIDO

Aikido is a modern martial art created in the 1920's by Morihei Ueshiba (1883 – 1969), one of the most prominent martial arts instructors of his time.

What is Aikido?

To create Aikido the Founder used his deep knowledge of the fighting techniques of the samurai and merged it with a groundbreaking universalist philosophy. As a result, the true goal of Aikido training is not to fight, but rather, to improve one's mind and body according to the rules of nature.

Aikido is performed by blending with the motion of the opponent and redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on. Per this core principle, Aikido has no competition or matches.

A Way of Life Practiced Globally

Aikido was formulated by its founder as a universal medium for fostering cooperation and mutual understanding between people. As a result, Aikido is now being practiced in over 140 countries.

Our instructors play an active part in continuing this effort and they have officiated in support of the International Aikido Federation's activities on several occasions through the years.
