Aikido is a martial art that focuses on redirecting the force of an attack in order to take the attacker’s balance and throw or pin them.
Aikido also has benefits that extend far beyond its self-defense applications, including improved mobility, fitness, centeredness, relaxation, vitality, and mental clarity.
For more about Aikido, its benefits, and how Aikido training works, see our FAQ.
