Aikido consists of a wide collection of techniques and exercises that are used as tools to understand the philosophy of Aikido and to assimilate it into one's body and mind. Aikido training is dynamic, and the rhythm is determined by each student according to their abilities.
Aikido is in fact a tool that allows the student to:
- Learn an effective martial art
- Relax the body and mind
- Experience a physical exercise that develop one's health over time
Learning Aikido consists of:
- Empty hand defense against an armed and unarmed attacker
- Learn to use traditional Japanese weapons - wooden knife (Tanto), wooden sword (Bokken) and a wooden staff / spear (Jo)
- Exercises to improve one's health including agility, flexibility, joint strength and relaxation
In its essence Aikido is a non-competitive and non-violent martial art, and as such it can be practiced by all ages and genders.
As we train in Aikido, we learn to use our body in a healthy manner, developing our ability to coordinate body and mind.
