What is Aikido.

Aikido is a powerful method of self-defense that can be studied by people of all ages.
It is a non-competitive martial art that teaches a student to understand, recognize, and then act in the face of a violent or harmful situation.

It is an art which does not seek to meet violence with violence, but still remains true to its martial arts history.

It is based on many turning and spinning movements, which seek to redirect the force of an attack down to the ground or back to the attacker.

The main forms of Aikido techniques are joint immobilisation and throws using the force of the attacker.

THE BENEFITS OF AIKIDO.

Aikido is ideal for women and children that would be physically less strong than an attacker due to the non-resistive techniques involved in dealing with this kind of situation.

Because Aikido is essentially a method of practical self-defence it developes the skills needed to withstand any forms of unprovoked attack, namely awareness, timing, good balance, and the confidence to act in your own defence.
