Morihei Ueshiba, founder of the traditional Japanese martial art of aikido

Aikido was founded in the early 20th century by Ueshiba Morihei O-Sensei, a master of numerous classical budo arts and esoteric spiritual practices of ancient Japan.

The practice of aikido allows practitioners to merge with the universal spirit of aiki and discover their true nature. Unlike competitive martial arts, aikido has no contests, matches, or tests of strength, emphasizing instead the path of budo and the wisdom of ancient teachings.

Through consistent training, aikido naturally develops both body and mind, providing a space to cultivate sincerity, discipline, and practical skill.

Those who dedicate themselves to the practice of aikido discover unlimited potential and embark on a journey toward self-awareness, inner freedom, and harmony.

Aikido is more than a martial art—it is the path to personal growth and enlightenment.
