Aikido training is now available in Truckee
Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art and a way of personal
growth.
The guiding principle of Aikido is Harmony: inner harmony of mind, body and spirit,
harmony with other people, and oneness with Nature. Aikido translates from Japanese as “The way
of Harmony with life-energy”.
Aikido is not used to defeat an attacker, but to extinguish the aggression, in oneself and others, and to restore harmony.
Aikido teaches how not to block or resist an attacking force – be it a
physical attack, a thoughtless comment from a co worker or a child’s temper
tantrum. Instead, we learn how to blend
and flow with the force of the attack, controlling, dissolving and maybe
redirecting the energy.
Aikido techniques utilize, and develop, a person’s balance, awareness, and
inner strength. Students of Aikido learn
to remain calm in stressful situations, to find alternatives to conflict, and
to protect themselves and others.
Aikido has been described as a “philosophy with a physical expression”
and “meditation in action”. As a path of
personal development, it is challenging and rewarding on many levels: physical, psychological, social and
spiritual.

"True victory is self victory".
