Aikido is a dynamic Japanese martial art originally developed by Master Morihei Ueshiba during the first half of the 20th century.
It is not only an effective self-defence system but also a method of strengthening the mind and body to produce a more integrated person.
“Aikido” means: the way (do) of harmony (ai) and the spirit/energy (ki).
