Maru Aikikai South

Aikido is a highly evolved form of Japanese jiu-jutsu with smooth flowing techniques and an emphasis on blending rather than fighting. Aikido is an art of self-defense that employs holds and locks and that uses the principles of nonresistance in order to debilitate the strength of the opponent. Classes are based on the methodology of traditional Japanese martial arts, students of all levels train together and at their own paces. This allows beginners to improve quickly by working hand-in-hand with senior students and instructors.
