What is Aikido?

Aikido is a traditional martial art that focuses on harmonizing with and neutralizing an opponent's energy rather than using force against force. It is a holistic practice that promotes physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Aikido is not just a form of self-defense, but also a way to improve overall health, build confidence, and develop a sense of inner peace.
