Aikido: The study of harmonious power

Aikido is a non-competitive martial art that explores dynamics between partners within the context of Japanese culture. The study of aikido increases flexibility, endurance, and balance. Most students find that it reduces stress and increases the ability to focus. In Aikido we strive for agatsu: the control of ourselves.
