Aikido is a Japanese martial art for everyone deeply rooted in ancient Japanese combat techniques. It is designed to control and subdue opponents using their momentum against them.

While demonstrations can be visually impressive with aerial falls, when applied for self-defence, Aikido movements are small, fast and to the point, as its technical foundations are rooted in the correct use of your body to generate an effect on your opponent.

While all martial arts aim to help practitioners protect their physical integrity, Aikido is unique in trying to achieve this goal without harming its opponent, which is challenging and relevant to our modern legal society. 

Aikido is a way to cultivate your discipline and resilience. Practitioners learn to master their body and mind through rigorous practice and a martial philosophy that seeks balance even in conflict.
