Aikido Resolutions Foundation

At the Aikido Resolutions Foundation, we are dedicated to teaching conflict resolution through the understanding of Aikido principles and philosophy. Our traditional Aikido dojo in Arlington Heights, Illinois, offers a unique approach to resolving conflicts in a positive and harmonious way. We believe that conflict is a natural part of life, but it's how we respond to it that matters. By using the physical and philosophical aspects of Aikido as a blueprint for emotional conflict resolution, our students can learn to stay in control of themselves even in the midst of a difficult circumstance.

Through our unique approach, we aim to empower individuals to become better versions of themselves, and to make a positive impact on their communities.

What is Aikido?

Aikido is a Japanese martial art founded by Morihei Ueshiba, O' Sensei, in the 1920s. The word Aikido means "the way of harmonizing energy". Through Aikido training, we learn to use the principles of harmony and circular motion to blend with the energy of an attack that is directed at us. We also develop an awareness of the unity of mind and body to help facilitate our application into our daily stresses with "living calmness". Our "shugyo" (training) is to carry the feelings of harmony and awareness into our daily lives to allow us to become better people.
