Aikido is a Japanese martial art that blends and harmonizes with an attack. It uses dynamic movements to unbalance an attacker & apply joint-locks, pins, & unbalancing throws to render an attacker harmless.
The name Aikido is composed of three Japanese characters:
Ai - harmony
Ki - spirit or energy
Do - path or way
Aikido teaches you to be flexible, fluid, and centered & to move spontaneously within its principles.
