About Aikido
Aikido means the art of peace, and it is a modern Japanese martial art without
any competition. It was derived from traditional martial arts including Japanese
sword fencing by Morihei Ueshiba over the period of the 1930s to the 1960s.
Aikido uses principles of energy and motion to redirect, neutralize and control
attackers. For its techniques to be effective, size and strength are not important,
hence Aikido is practiced by men and women alike. Aikido training is for all-around
physical fitness, flexibility and relaxation.
