Aikido, way of harmony

Thu, Sep 22, 2016

Aikido is a dynamic martial art that focuses on unbalancing and controlling an aggressor using blending movements, without relying on brute strength. It emphasises throwing and pinning techniques instead of punching or kicking. Regular practice instils calm and self-control while building up physical and mental resilience. There are no competitions in aikido: its philosophy is summed up in the phrase masakatsu agatsu — ‘true victory is self-victory’.
