Iwama Aikido's founder Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969) was born at the very end of the Samurai era; by 1952 he had created from its traditional Samurai systems "Iwama Aikido" (the world's strongest Aikido). By accepting Budo culture, Japan's martial etiquette, you can master this martial art. To do so, you must be led through the open handed, sword and staff foundation techniques with precision as only "perfect practice makes perfect."
When you repeat practice a foundation technique slowly, calmly and perfectly, you are creating a neuron loop covered with myelin - a perfect technique! Our studio provides people a safe and friendly place to learn self-defense. It is a non-competitive and non-judgmental place for people to exercise, build confidence and create friendships.

Being an absolute beginner is an absolutely great way to stay sharp and strong. Several adult students began martial arts training in their 40s, 50s and beyond. With consistent and regular practice, they mastered new skills, and some have even earned their black belt in Aikido.
In addition to building resilience and physical strength, learning a martial art such as Aikido fosters mental agility, it can help improve memory, increase focus, and sharpen the mind.Up to the mid-1990s, it was believed that brain cells died over time, never to be replaced. But medical research has proven otherwise, the brain remains plastic throughout life and can rewire itself in response to our experiences.

Children
Report
Children and smaller people do not possess the physical attributes to defend against larger and stronger attackers. The Aikido founder developed Iwama Aikido by modifying techniques that he learned from Aiki Jiu Jitsu and other traditional Japanese martial arts; he reduced the amount of strain, power and explosiveness necessary to make techniques work by incorporating more leverage, timing and efficiency.
