There are many forms of martial arts. While some are focused on strikes, kicks, punches or grappling, Aikido is unique. Aikido is centred around harmonising with your opponents' movement and redirecting their energy through timing, balance and positioning. You don't need to be the biggest, strongest or fastest to enjoy Aikido.
Aikido is an absolutely non competitive art. Perfect for beginners, this Japanese art incorporates fluid movements and techniques to control or project an attacker. Through absorbing the attacker's power and redirecting their energy, Aikido sees attack as a gift that can be confidently dealt with in a peaceful and calm way.
