"Aikido is the principle of non - resistance. Because it is non - resistant, it is victorious from the beginning. Those with evil intentions or contentious thoughts are instantly vanquished." Morihei Ueshiba

Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art unique in its synthesis of classic forms with a well-defined spiritual base. It offers a key to the art of living naturally and unselfishly in a complicated world.

It is about :

• Universal "Chi" or "KI"
• Spherical Rotation
• Mastering Mind
• Cultivating Technique
• Living with nature

Don't simply look at the opponent's eyes, because they will absorb your mind. Don't just look at the opponent's sword, because it will take away your ki. Don't just look at your opponent, because his ki will control you. Martial arts training is the training of the magnetic power in yourself to absorb the other as he is.
