AIKIDO

FAQ

General Question

Aikido can be difficult for modern people to understand. Many only have experience with sports and games that stress pure physical and technical training and organized competition that demands a clear distinction between winner and loser. Since the Aikido approach is not like that, newcomers to the art are often puzzled. To make Aikido more accessible, we will employ a question-and-answer method to deal with the most common queries. Many of the replies may appear startling at first, but once you take up the actual practice of Aikido, you will soon learn to appreciate its unique character.
