Welcome

Aikido

Aikido is a martial art based on the laws of nature, the order of the universe. As such it not only provides the necessary skills for self-defense but also builds self-confidence, character, self-respect, and respect for others. It teaches us how to transform our aggression and the difficulties of everyday life into joy and self-improvement. Practiced properly, it enables us to bring our mind and body under the control of our will and thereby realize our true nature as human beings.

Aikido is an art which can be practiced by young and old, men and women alike. Rather than fostering a spirit of competition, it uses partner practice to nurture a spirit of harmony and mutual assistance. Nevertheless, as a spiritual discipline, Aikido demands honesty, realism, and the kind of fierce determination necessary for self-polishing. This combination of factors sets the stage for an enjoyable study yielding both practical results and deep insights. The spirituality of Aikido's fundamental principles and the practicality of its execution are at the core of its growing appeal throughout the world today
