Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art founded by Morihei Ueshiba, based on the ancient fighting techniques and philosophical traditions of the samurai. Aikido is a vehicle for physical, mental and spiritual development, where practitioners learn to focus and redirect the energy and attacks of one, or multiple, opponents to a point of non resistance, without inflicting injury.
At Aikido Miami, you will be trained to think on your feet, to improvise rather than to adhere to a rigid game plan. Likewise, to see and think in an unconventional, nonlinear fashion, in order to be able to enter, at will, a heightened state of calm awareness that will allow you to function at your physical and mental peak.
“Always keep your mind as bright and clear as the vast sky, the great ocean, and the highest peak, empty of all thoughts. Always keep your body filled with light and heat. Fill yourself with the power of wisdom and enlightenment.” -Morihei Ueshiba
