Aikido is a Non-Violent Martial Art based on the principle of Unification with ones opponent. The special techniques used in Aikido allow persons of small stature to throw people much larger than themselves with ease. Aikido translates as 'way of harmonising Ki' or 'way of the harmonious spirit'. It is a peaceful, yet dynamic martial art which uses flowing, circular movements.
These movements are used to redirect, transform and neutralise the energy of any attacking/unbalanced force in order to restore harmony and balance to any situation. Aikido can be practiced for fitness, martial arts or as a spiritual discipline. All participants are encouraged to train at their own pace.

Training in Ki, we gain a deeper awareness of our connection with nature and the universe we begin to ride the flow of life and gain insights into and align ourselves with our true destiny.
Misogi (Cold water purification) is an ancient practice which involves cleansing the body, mind and spirit of impurities to allow one to gain a deeper connection with nature and the oneness of all things.
