"Opponents confront us continually, but actually there is no opponent there. Enter deeply into an attack and neutralize it as you draw that misdirected force into your own sphere."


Morihei Ueshiba
Founder of Aikido
(Considered by some to be the greatest martial artist ever)


Picture
Aikido was developed as practice for anyone of any age. It can be very dynamic and powerful as Takase Shihan demonstrates, but doesn't rely on strength in the execution of its techniques, and you can advance at your own pace. These very athletic falls are for advanced practitioners, and all breakfalls are designed to allow one to receive a technique without injury.
