About Aikido
Aikido is a modern martial art founded by its founder Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969), who mastered the mysteries of traditional Japanese martial arts and underwent rigorous spiritual training. In Aikido, you do not compete with your opponent over strength. Instead, you practice and hone your body and mind through techniques born from the power of breathing and the use of body movements such as entering and turning. In addition, since Aikido does not compete with others over superiority or inferiority, there are no matches or competitions. It can be said that it is a martial art in which you can learn to respect each other and the spirit of harmony through repeated practice.

Characteristics of Aikido
Aikido aims to train the mind and body by repeatedly practicing techniques according to each person's level of proficiency, so it can be practiced by people of all ages, both male and female. Aikido dojos are an ideal place for people of all ages, genders, occupations, and nationalities to gather together and practice together, engage in international exchange, and deepen human understanding.
There is no end to Aikido training. Once you start training, you must persevere. Continuing to practice is the first step, and improvement in Aikido can only be achieved through continued practice. One important aspect of Aikido is to value the basics and to always strive to improve by continuing to practice.
