Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art. A Japanese martial artist of rare skill and dedication created Aikido in the 1930s and 1940s. His name was Morihei Ueshiba - a farmer, soldier, and master of many traditional Japanese fighting arts.

At the basic level, Aikido teaches self-defence. However, the greater essence of the art is learned on the journey, or Way [do], to martial proficiency.

This essence includes how to resolve conflict positively, let go of fear and bring mind, body, and spirit into harmony. The training process helps uncover the gift of awareness and peace within ourselves.
