Aikido Martial Art

Q: What is Aikido

Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art, evolved from older forms of martial arts, mainly “Aikijujitsu”, into a disciplined form of practice for self-improvement and growth. Aikido translate from Japanese language as: “Ai” means harmony, “Ki” means energy or life-force, and “Do” means way: The way of harmony/unification with the cosmic life-force (or breath of life). So Aikido provides control by blending in harmony with any challenge rather than struggling against it. Aikido can be very effective in self-defense situations if practiced correctly since it is based on actual and proven martial techniques, but it’s ultimate goal is to perfect our bodies, minds and health as we grow better. Aikido is a skill of subduing or neutralizing aggression without causing damage, is very peaceful in its nature and enjoyable to practice. Read more (Wikipedia)
