JAPANESE MARTIAL ART
What is Aikido?
Aikido is a Japanese martial art that was developed during the first half of the 20th century by Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969), often referred to as O-Sensei. Aikido translates from Japanese into English as “the way of harmonizing energy.
O-Sensei trained and became expert at various Japanese martial arts, including jujutsu and sword and spear arts. A profound spiritual experience led to his realization that the real way of the warrior is the Art of Peace.
WHO WE ARE
About Aikido Hibiki
At ‘Aikido Hibiki’, we develop the outer through lively practice and nurture the inner through focus and observation. More deeply, there’s a study aspect, a communication aspect, a meditative aspect, a creative aspect, a discipline aspect, an athletic aspect. Each individual is drawn to some aspects more than others.
We opened our dojo near the corner of Foster & Powell in April 2023. We offer adult classes weekday evenings and weekend mornings, and children’s classes on Sunday morning and Wednesday afternoon.. Adult classes are adapted to the students attending and emphasize developing softness and relaxation while minding correctness and reason. In aikido in general, practice is done with a variety of partners with the benefit of cultivating adaptability and sensitivity.
We invite you to join us if you are interested in traditional Japanese martial arts, self-discipline, self-improvement, mindfulness, and being part of a supportive community.
