Power through softness

Confidence without agression

of the desire to dominate or compete, instead striving for harmony.

Confidence without agression

rather than opposing it, turning that energy in a circle to control without damage.

Testimonies
“A martial art’s focus should not be the destruction of an opponent, nor should it lead the world to a destructive end. The sole intention to destroy will become the destruction of oneself. The real art within a martial art is to be in harmony with all living things.”

Aikido is a Japanese Martial Art developed and founded by the late Master Morihei Ueshiba during the middle of the 20th Century. Aikido utilises the ki (chi) that is inherent in us all as the core foundation to enhance its technical forms.

The art of ki fusion Aikido adds greater emphasis on fusing our ki (chi, or energy) with the attacker’s intention, so as to remove their stability or pillar of support, requiring very little generation of physical energy to overwhelm and subdue them.

Without ki, Aikido techniques draw more on the physical and while this can still be effective, a skilled or very strong attacker may be able to counter them more easily. For this reason channelling ki through technical forms is a major focus of our training.
