San Juan Aikikai is a non-profit organization
dedicated to the teachings of the art of Aikido in Puerto
Rico and the Caribbean. Aikido or the "Art of Peace";
like it is also known, is a Japanese martial art founded
by O'Sensei (Great Teacher) Morihei Ueshiba in the middle
of the 20th century. In his conception of this art, he developed
not only a way for an effective self-defense, but also a
way of life.
For him Aikido was the path towards peace
with ourselves and with nature. He considerd Aikido to be
a martial art that had no competitions, but the competition
that we encounter with ourselves to be better human beings
everyday. This is the essence of our purpose as an Aikido
center.
Our mission is to Practice and teach Aikido under the guidelines
and regulations of the United States Aikido Federation and
The Latin American Aikido Federation of which San Juan Aikikai
is a member. San Juan Aikikai is located at :Avenida Andalucia
# 527, Puerto Nuevo, Puerto Rico. Tel (787) 781-1399
