Aikido - O'Sensei's Art of Peace
Aikido is the 'Way of Harmony', a non violent mind/body discipline which originated as a Japanese martial art or Way and is now popular throughout the world with those who seek a better understanding and awareness of themselves and their relationship with others.
The emphasis in aikido training is on non-competitive, co-operative and creative ways of learning principles that can be applied to daily life.
As a form of self-defence, aikido gives equal if not greater importance to the inner aspects of dealing with conflict, as to the purely physical, technical aspects.

As a form of self-defence, aikido gives equal if not greater importance to the inner aspects of dealing with conflict, as to the purely physical, technical aspects.
We are urged to rid ourselves of conflict as the first step along the Way. This involves mental discipline, centering, and a determination not to resort to force.
A skilled Aikido exponent can defend themselves against a larger and stronger attacker, wether they are armed or unarmed and attacks from multiple attackers.
The movements and techniques of Aikido exercise all muscles and joints and are practised equally on the left and rights sides of the body leading to a balanced state of co-ordination
Regular practice of Aikido develops 'calmness in action'. and the ability to relax when under stress
