About Aikido

Aikido is martial art grounded in a principle of unity. It's a fully embodied practice to empower your capacities for working with change, challenge, and conflict. There’s no better way to stay fit in body and mind, and become a more centered person in harmony with Life.

Aikido is not competitive. In fact, it teaches us the wisdom of collaborating with life energy, which includes attack. In a typical practice, you'll learn to align your body and mind into conflict circumstances, flow with attack, and apply yourself with power, sense, and grace. 

Aikido was founded by Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969), known to students of Aikido as "O-Sensei." O-Sensei developed Aikido as an expression of his inspiration — that martial arts can be a path that affirms life and cultivates connection.
