A modern day martial art! Aikido (合氣道) ‘the way of harmonizing with energy’. The Japanese martial art of Aikido is a comprehensive system of throwing, joint locking, striking and pinning techniques, coupled with training in traditional Japanese weapons such as the sword, staff and knife.

“Why study martial arts?

A true martial artist does not practice to only defeat others. They practice to defeat the enemies inside themselves, the enemies we all have. We forge our life into something beautiful, something helpful to the world.

Peace is not just a word or idea. Strength, bravery and compassion are things we have embodied. They are what we all must become.”

—Fumio Toyoda Shihan
