About Aikido
Aikido, a Japanese martial art, controls a physical encounter from the beginning
through timing and motion, rather than by subduing an opponent by sheer force
or speed. Unlike most other martial arts, training is always cooperative,
never combative or competitive.
Who Can Do Aikido
Aikido is for everyone. All over the world ordinary people
ages 7 to 70+, regardless of physical ability, practice Aikido. Anyone can
learn to do Aikido well with consistent support. You don't have to be athletic
or experienced in any martial art. There's no need to "get in shape" first.
