“The movements of aikido are in perfect accord with the movements of the spirit. If one talks about spiritual matters or throwing his opponent without harming him— after having struck and kicked him—it’s not convincing. In aikido, we strengthen the body and mind through soft movements which are in harmony with nature.”
Kisshomaru Ueshiba

Whether you're new to the martial arts, new to the area, or looking for a closer dojo (school), any new endevour can be filled with uncertainty and trepidation. The true goal of Aikido is to develop people who strive for peace and harmony, both within themselves and with others in our society. Find the school and style of aikido that you feel best fits your personality, goals, and heart. As your training will hopefully help you to learn and grow as a person, the most important thing is for you to become the person you want to be, not who someone else makes you.

"When practicing Aikido kata, the most important thing is not the achievement of small, immediate goals like making the technique effective against your partner or throwing them strongly; rather, it is about learning how to use your body, the relation between you and your partner, and your inner state. Namely, it is about learning everything you can about the way your heart, technique, and physique should be...." - Endo Sensei |
