Strathaven Ki-Aikido Club
About Aikido
In the Art of Ki Aikido there is no aggression, tension or competition. Classes are suitable for all levels of fitness and may be practised equally by men and women of any size, age or ability.
Aikido means: “Way of Life to find Harmony with Nature, (Life force)”
We learn that force and aggression are useless in dealing with a partner holding you. Physical strength is of no consequence in Aikido. The unique principles in this art are directly applicable to our daily lives. At the same time they give us a practical method of dealing with many problems that we may face.
Aikido is not merely a series of techniques designed to overcome or subdue an opponent but are exercises, which embrace many universal laws of motion and natural movement, which are understood as the student progresses. The true Aikido avoids arrogance and fake pride, never taking advantage of those weaker or less skilful.
Modesty and humility are not to be ignored. Respect is important between all students.
