International Yoshinkan Aikido Federation Aikido is the redirection of opposing forces towards a less harmful direction. Nevertheless, with the development of basic techniques, Aikido provides a very powerful means of self-defense. Techniques in Aikido are characterized by circular and spherical movements which are used to redirect an opponent's force. Aikido explores how an opponent's attack can be grounded and controlled without strength. Shinseikan Aikido Club , based in the Parkdale district of Toronto at the Minoru Dojo, offers students not only world-class instruction in Aikido technique, but a warm, open and friendly community of martial arts and conflict resolution enthusiasts.
