Aikido is a martial art that is based on concepts of conflict resolution and harmony. We teach how to resolve conflict by causing as little harm to your aggressor as possible to effectively deal with the situation. It is based on a series of movements, controls, and joint locks that are not strength dependent so it remains effective even if you are small of stature or strength. It also fosters a way of engaging with the world and its people in ways that helps us deal more effectively with the problems of everyday life.
