Aikido is a defensive martial art that teaches practitioners to harmonize with an attacker’s energy, redirecting it away from the practitioner and into the ground. Practitioners of Aikido use techniques such as joint locks, throws, and pins to unbalance an attacker and control them without causing injury. The result is a powerful system of self-defense that is both effective and safe for both the practitioner and the attacker. It has no competition or tournaments; instead, practitioners of Aikido focus on the physical, mental, and spiritual development of their practice.
