Aikido of Greensboro
Aikido
is a highly effective form of self-defense that teaches how to subdue
an even much larger aggressor using minimum effort. Aikido, a true budo
or martial way, evolved in the historic tradition of Japanese warrior
arts. When studied in earnest, budo is not only a science of
tactics and self-defense; it is a discipline for perfecting the
spirit. The final aim of budo is the achievement of personal
excellence, the development of a polished, balanced, and sensitive human
character.
Aikido practice is conducted in an energized,
non-competitive environment. Aikido practitioners believe that martial and
personal development is best achieved by practicing cooperatively, with
partners helping each other learn techniques. Practice improves physical
conditioning - strength, balance flexibility, and coordination - and
mental conditioning - self-confidence, concentration, alertness,
intuitiveness and concern for others.
Aikido teaches how to blend with
an attack, and neutralize it without relying on brute strength. Consequently,
Aikido is appropriate for men and women of all ages.
