Aikido uses the attack’s momentum against itself, making it possible to defend oneself against an opponent of superior strength and size. This martial art is truly for anyone, regardless of body size, strength, gender or age. There is no competition or “sparring” in Aikido. We cultivate a safe, fun, cooperative and supportive environment. Aikido training improves mental focus and self-confidence, enhances physical fitness and coordination, and imparts wisdom. Aikido develops both the mind and body, the primary focus is self-improvement, through sincere martial arts practice.
