What is Aikido

 

Aikido is a powerful defensive Japanese martial art of joint locks, throws, and pins, emphasizing blending with your opponents energy. It was developed by Morihei Ueshiba (O’Sensei) in the early to mid 1900’s in Japan. 
 
   Although Aikido movements are soft, rational, and smooth in nature, by applying a bit of force these can become devastatingly effective. It not only offers spiritual development but also provides exercise and teaches proper etiquette and behavior. The gentle quality of Aikido makes it appealing to men, woman and children regardless of age, while it’s power makes it an effective martial art.
