Aikido is a not only a martial art, but also a way of
life. Much of what is learned in Aikido, as well as
many martial arts, can be used in everyday life.

Aikido uses a non-aggressive, non-violent
approach to self-defense. Aikido blends with the
energy of the attacker and redirects the energy into
an area that is beneficial to both, the attacker and
the person being attacked.

All classes focus on centering and balance
through the use of training and techniques learned.
Students learn and advance based on skill testing
rather than sparring with partners. This
non-competitive approach is part of the ideas of the
founder of the art, Morehei Ueshiba.
