About Aikido

Aikido is martial art grounded in a principle of unity. It's a fully embodied way to develop your relationship with conflict and challenge. 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 fighting. In fact, it teaches us the wisdom of a collaborative approach for better outcomes. 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.
