Aikido (合気道, aikidō),is a form of Japanese Budo, a path to self improvement based
on martial art techniques. The goal of our study is not to defeat or control others,
but to defeat and control our own egos. Students work as partners to study dynamic
throws and powerful pins. It may look like they are fighting, but they are actually
learning how to fit together and create harmony instead of conflict. We study
harmony in Aikido so that we may learn to live in harmony with nature and the world
around us.
