Kodokai Aikido of Orlando
|
|
Aikido is a Japanese martial art that teaches
self-defense. Its core concepts are staying balanced within one's center while
simultaneously extending one's energy (ki) to redirect, control and neutralize
the power of an attack. Its techniques include
a variety of movements, joint locks, holds, throws, and rolls. Aikido training
consists of practicing ki development and self-defense techniques with partners
in a cooperative atmosphere, and also includes the use of the staff (jo), sword
(bokken) and knife (tanto).
