About Aikido
Aikido is a martial art based not on destruction, but on blending with your attacker to resolve conflict non-violently.
Morihei Ueshiba, O’Sensei
FOUNDER OF AIKIDO
A great warrior who rejected war, fighting and violence and chose The Path of Peace.
Masa Katsu A Gatsu
“True victory is victory over oneself”
