Aikido, known also as "The Art of Peace," was
developed and founded by Morihei Ueshiba,
respectively referred to as O'Sensei. A relatively new
martial art with an eclectic style and unique philosophy
aikido has something to offer everyone.
From the unarmed samurai arts of old, Aikido does not
require a person to be or become an athlete because it
generates its power from the opponent's strength and
aggression. This allows a much smaller person to
redirect an attack safely from its intended target,
creating an opportunity to escape to safety.
More than a martial art, Aikido provides an individual
with much more than self-defense. Because aikido is a
non-competitive martial art without tournaments,
practice partners learn to work together in a cooperative
manner where everyone becomes a winner. This
atmosphere also fosters self-respect
and respect for others while building self-esteem and
self-confidence.
Men, women, and children around the world practice
Aikido. If one can move, one can perform its techniques
in an effective manner. If one can keep an open mind
and approach life with an empty cup anything becomes
possible.
