Aikido

Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art that emphasizes harmony, fluid movement, and non-aggressive techniques. Developed by Morihei Ueshiba in the early 20th century, Aikido focuses on using an attacker’s energy and movements against them, rather than relying on brute force. Practitioners learn to blend with and redirect the force of an attack, often resulting in joint locks and throws. Aikido is practiced worldwide for self-defense, physical fitness, and personal development.
