What is Aikido?

Aikido is a Japanese Martial Art created during

the 1920s by Morihei Ueshiba (1883~1969),

an expert who reached the highest level of mastery

in the classical Japanese Martial Arts.

​

Aikido is performed by blending with the motion of the attacker and

redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on.

​

Aikido has not competition. The goal of Aikido training is not perfection

of a step or skill, but rather improving one's character

according to the rules of nature.

​

Today, Aikido has become established in

140 countries around the world.
