What is Aikido?

Fred throws GeorgeAikido is a Japanese martial art, which is based on the idea that when attacked, you should avoid the force of the attack, and then use the attacker's own energy to stop them.

Aikido is not based on strength or speed, which makes it extremely suitable for women, as well as smaller, older, and less athletic individuals. Instead, Aikido is based on the idea of controlling balance, and using the attacker's own strength to defeat them.

We practice Tomiki style Aikido, as taught by Karl Geis.
