Aikidō (the way of the harmonic force) is based on ancient Japanese armed and unarmed martial arts. In Aikido, the opponent's attack is eliminated using round and natural movements that utilize the opponent's own momentum. In addition to locks, throws, and pinning techniques, training includes the use of a wooden sword, staff, and knife. Due to the peaceful nature of the art, Aikido does not involve competition; instead, practitioners meet other trainees at Aikido seminars, where deeper instruction and technical development are provided.

In Aikido, emphasis is placed on the relaxation of technique, timing, and distance control between the uke (the receiver of the technique) and the nage (the performer of the technique). Aikido is suitable for practitioners of all ages, both men and women.

 One of the principles of the art is to deal with a threatening situation without permanently harming the opponent. Moreover, the power of the technique arises more from movement and the purity of the technique than from muscle strength. For this reason, practitioners of different levels and sizes can train and learn together. Aikido allows for a wide range of training, from slow and careful technical practice to fast-paced and physically demanding training. Everyone can practice according to their own fitness and skill level.
