The Aikido Academy teaches the art of Nihon Goshin Aikido, a complete martial art and self-defense program for the entire family. It consists of throws, joint locks, nerve pressure points, blocks, strikes, weaponry, and more. The word Aikido means “the way in harmony with the spirit.” Simply put — by using an attackers weight and momentum while applying proven techniques, a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a larger, stronger adversary.
