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.
A devastating martial art developed from armed and
unarmed samurai arts of old, aikido does not require a
person to be or become an athlete. Aikido feeds off of
an opponent's strength and aggression. Allowing 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.
