Aikido is a Japanese martial art for self defense and self improvement. Emphasis in Aikido is not directed towards street fighting or competitive tournaments. Aikido techniques seek harmony in the neutralization of an attack rather than the defeat of an attacker. Potentially harmful energy is redirected by the Aikido student using mind, body and spirit. Aikido's style comes from strategy, circular movement and a variety of arm locks, pins and throws that can be used by anyone, regardless of their physical strength.
