Martial Arts Club in Santa Barbara, CA
In Japanese, aikido means the way of union with the forces and principles of the universe. Aikido is a derivative of Japanese budo which translates as, the way of martial arts. As such, aikido is a path for self-cultivation wherein the keen edge of martial arts training is used as a means for individual development. Superficially, joint manipulations, strikes, pins, and throws mark aikido. Tactically, the art emphasizes destabilizing your adversary, clearing the line of attack, and entering into the attacker's blind spot. Physically, aikido is an art that will bring strength and conditioning to your whole body.
