Aikido is a modern Japanese Budo (warriors way). Judo, kendo (swordsmanship), Karate - do, Kyudo (archery) are examples of Budo. Properly understood, all are disciplines that use martial training as a means of character development. Ai Ki Do translates as Ai- universal love, joining, unifying, Ki- life-force energy, Do - path or way. Literally, Budo is “ The martial way of life”.

Aikido is a non-competitive martial art. It utilizes partner practice to nurture a spirit of harmony and mutual assistance. Its techniques are based on the principle of blending ones movement with breath and one’s energy with that of his or her partner. Aikido movements are martially effective and at the same time lead to a peaceful resolution of conflict. Aikido offers a rigorous physical practice, and is well suited for men and women of different ages as well as children.
