Discover aikido, a japanese traditional art
A modern and original martial
art, accessible to everyone, combining technical skills and
art of living, many differents courses in a relaxed and cordial
atmosphere, international seminars and more.
Since it is obvious that victories relying on force
are relatives it is better to devote our energies to be in harmony
with others rather to use it in some sort of competition. Aikido
reflects this philosophy in a concrete and effective way using
natural movements and non-resistance principles, without the
use of muscular force.
Aikido is a great overall martial art.
It
includes bare-hands techniques (grabbing, punchs and kicks),
practice with wooden weapons as well as respiratory (tai chi)
and relaxation techniques (shiatsu). It is therefore a complete
mind-body training.
Aikido gives as
much attention to relaxations techniques than to the martial
practice.
