The Makati Aikikai Dojo conducts its training of beginners and blackbelts alike based on the principles laid out by its founder Ueshiba Morihei Osensei as taught to us by Fujimaki Hiroshi Shihan. Aikido in this dojo is taught in the mainstream style of the Aikido World Headquarters (Hombu Dojo) in Tokyo, Japan.
Aikido is not an intellectual process. It is a form of physical and mental training carried out in an atmosphere of traditional Japanese formality and discipline leavened with goodwill and sweat. There are no competitions; matches are viewed as philosophically incompatible with the nature of "aiki" (blending of energy)...
Aikido is a very comprehensive form of self-defense; it teaches time-tested and proven techniques against any attack.
This is accomplished by using techniques for neutralizing confrontations as peacefully-yet effectively-as possible in an attempt to reconcile the reality of violence and discord through harmony and compassion.
Aikido techniques use efficient movement, rather than strength.
It can be practiced by anybody - men and women, regardless of age, size, or strength. Aikido is practiced by many individuals with physical challenges.
Aikido can be a means of self-improvement aside from being a good exercise activity.
To learn Aikido, a student practices techniques that use joint locks, throws, and pins combined with appropriate breathing practices. These flowing, circular movements rely on redirecting and guiding an attacker’s momentum rather than meeting force directly. This allows the aikidoka(the practitioner) to remain controlled and serene while he or she ends an attacker’s violence safely. Since it uses an opponent’s own momentum, Aikido is ideal for defending oneself against an attacker of greater size and strength.
