Aikido is a rigorous and demanding physical discipline that serves as an educational process for training the mind, body, and spirit. The physical self-defense techniques are not the true object, but a tool for personal refinement and spiritual growth - a tool for integrating and balancing the human personality - a tool for harmonizing individuals within a society - a tool for harmonizing individuals with nature.
 
When taught as the Founder of Aikido envisioned it, Aikido differs fundamentally from other martial arts in that it is wholly defensive, non-violent, and non-competitive. One does not learn offensive techniques to be used against another person - to be used to attack another person. Another way to state this, is that Aikido techniques are designed to be used as a response to an attack, rather than to initiate an attack. Additionally, there is no desire to overpower the aggressor. Those who study Aikido attempt to blend with the aggressor's power, rather than oppose it.   Read more

In these meditative movement classes, students are verbally directed through movement sequences designed to produce ease and grace in movement.  In these lessons, the whole organism  (the nervous system, the musculature and the skeleton)  is engaged in harmonious and focused movement.  The movements are carried out very slowly so that one can use the movements to become aware of bracing patterns in the body – to become aware of extra efforting.

The “do” of Aikido is translated as “The Way” It refers to a spiritual path or a way of life.  Incorporated in the philosophy of Aikido is harmony with nature.  We practice this physically by trying to harmonize with our attacker, rather than oppose him or her. But this is simply a means to an end.  We seek ultimately, to be in harmony with nature itself.

Nature grows spontaneously, according to the inner promptings of its being.  Nature is incapable of habitual, compulsive, or contrived behavior.  There is then, both an effortless and spontaneous quality to the movement of nature. We cannot force grass to grow.

Two of the qualities that Aikidoka (students of Aikido) strive to develop then, are spontaneous and effortless movement – which is to say, spontaneous and effortless behavior.  Many problems in life are caused by doing too much rather than doing too little.  We often seem determined to effort excessively even when little or no effort is required.  We can see this in our Aikido technique – this tendency to over-effort.
