Michi - "the Way" - can meaningfully describe our martial practice if we define it as pursuing spiritual integrity, the extent to which our ideals match our behavior under pressure. Participation is limited to the first 30 people that register with payment. Aikido can be a beautiful framework for self-discovery.
Aikido
Report
Aikido is a non-competitive martial way that emphasizes being unattackable rather than destroying others.
While we practice our art based on serious combat principles like multiple attackers and defense against weapons, we emphasize cultivating a mindset, body, and reactions that are useful in real life: our jobs, our relationships, with our families and friends, and not just against a physical attacker or for gaining points in a sport tournament.In training, we help each other, we practice to avoid injury, and we cultivate lifelong friends.

Morihei Ueshiba O Sensei
Report
There are many legendary warrior archetypes, and the man who was Morihei Ueshiba lived them all. We was born a sickly child, and overcame his illness through strict martial training. He mastered many martial schools quickly. He became the unconventional swordsman that no master could defeat. He became a warrior ascetic, a spiritual hermit, who meditated on mountains and under waterfalls to achieve enlightenment.
Mitsugi Saotome Shihan
Report
The essence of Budo is not the art of fighting, or narrow technique, but an art of personal refinement and of protecting the quality of life. Aikido is first and always Budo. Without the heart of a warrior and the deep desire to protect society, to protect all life, Aikido becomes an empty dance. Budo (the Warrior Way) is its spirit.
Benefits
Report
If all you seek is a workout, any gym will do. If you need validation from competitions and trophies, there are many martial sports available. However, if you are looking for something more, that cultivates and relies upon what is inside you as a complete, healthy person, then Aikido might be your calling.
