Aikido is none other than the
manifestation of the workings of Love. Love gives form to the Universe and
purifies all things. The Universe scatters the seeds from which all things
grow; it contains infinite power, which nourishes and allows those seeds to
prosper. I gave the name “Aiki” to
the manifold laws of the universe brought forth from love, which govern the
destiny of the intricate tapestry of life as it is woven on this earth. To
carry out the mission of universal compassion on Earth, to protect and
cultivate all things in nature. This is the task of Aikido. - Morihei Ueshiba Founder of Aikido |

Aikido, roughly translates to “The Way to unite ones’
Inner Energy”. It has been described as a martial art that meets contemporary
needs. Originating in Japan, Aikido is a way of spiritual and physical
cultivation. Since there are no contests in Aikido, it offers a dynamic,
practical alternative to the competitive sports and contest-oriented martial
arts. The goal of Aikido is to bring
the practitioner to self-realization, and ultimately to unite the mind and
body as one with nature - a state in which thought and action are one and the
same. |
