What is Aikido?

Aikido is a Japanese marital art developed by Morihei Ueshiba. On a purely physical level it is an art involving some throws and joint locks that are derived form Jujitsu and some throws and other techniques derived from Kenjutsu.

Aikido is a non-competitive martial art. It utilizes partner practice to nurture a spirit of harmony and mutual assistance. Its techniques are based on the principle of blending one’s movement with breath and one’s energy with that of his or her partner. Aikido movements are martially effective and at the same time lead to a peaceful resolution of conflict. Aikido offers a rigorous physical practice, and is well suited for men and women of different ages as well as children.
