Aikido a traditional Japanese martial art. Its movements appear soft, but are (at the same time) very powerful. Movements from thousands of years of sword and battlefied arts, are synthesized into a system of awareness that maintain the edge of a blade, but the intent of love.

 

Aikido practice's sole aim is to develop in each of us the ability to find connection and resist conflict and control. In pursuit of this ideal, students learn that self-defense is not found in the defeating others, but in finding the path of least resistance within ourselves. Ironically, the best "self-defense" is finding security and peace first within ourselves.

 

Whether you're brand new to the martial arts or looking for a new place to practice, taking your first step can be filled with uncertainty and trepidation. Aikido practice is a path of continual learning and growth, therefore it is not a commitment to be taken lightly.

 

Choose a path— and style—of aikido that best suits your goals and personality. Aikido practice is deep and personal to each of us. Find a dojo that fulfills your purpose for training.
