Aikido
means the way of harmony. In Aikido you use circular energy
to redirect incoming force. Aikido is a Japanese martial art that
uses locks and throws to disable an attacker. Aikido is noncompetative
and emphasizes technique over strength. So you do not require great
physical strength or athletic ability to learn Aikido.
An important concept in Aikido is Agatsu - victroy over self, know
yourself and your abilities.
The Aikido by the Bay
school is affiliated with the Shudokan Aikido Association.
