Aikido is a traditional Japanese martial art focused on self-defense and achieving harmony with an opponent. Founded by Morihei Ueshiba, it uses a philosophy of blending and redirecting an attacker’s force rather than relying on brute strength.
Practitioners learn techniques like joint locks, throwing, and weaponry, which aim to neutralize threats while maintaining peace. At Eltham Martial Arts Academy, Aikido Shudokan brings these ancient techniques into a modern training environment. Learn more about Aikido Shudokan here.
