General Aikido • $20.00

Aikido is the ever-evolving manifestation of principles and technical movements first envisioned by its founder, Ueshiba Morihei (O’ Sensei). Aikido is a traditional Japanese martial art which seeks to blend and harmonize with an attack rather than fight against it. The spontaneous, fluid, and dynamic movements utilized in Aikido may be used to unbalance an aggressor and render them harmless. An emphasis on traditional martial aspects such as proper timing, spacing, blending, and awareness are continually refined through our practice. Aikido provides practitioners with a physical vehicle with which to train the body while also opening the door to deeper spiritual and philosophical avenues. In the end, it is for each student to decide just how far along the path they will travel, or how much they wish to discover.
