What is Aikido?
Aikido is a traditional Japanese martial art. Its movements appear soft and flowing due to their non-conflicting nature. However they are at the same time very subtle and powerful as the art's techniques and philosophies are derived from the principles of the Japanese sword and battlefield arts.
How is Aikido different from other martial arts?
Martial arts exist to resolve conflict. What makes Aikido different is how it resolves conflict. Combing with the intentions of others, rather than simply overcoming them with strength or speed, is the only way to "win" without having to defeat others.
What is "kimusubi" aikido and how is it different?
Musubi (moo-soo-bi) is roughly translated from Japanese as "tying the knot". Kimusubi, therefore, is the tying together of ki (energy) between individuals. Kimusubi aikido emphasizes establishing strong connections between uke and nage, in order to move in accord with one another during technique.
Justin Quillen - Structural Engineer
“Aikido has helped me develop myself physically and mentally. It helps me in my day to day interactions with people and challenges me to think and act with courage. I appreciate that the instructors here have the knowledge and passion to explain why we do things instead of only how to do them. Their example motivates me to try harder and push myself and the people here have become part of my family.”
Duff Swan - Registered Nurse
“To me, practicing aikido is like working in the garden. First you toil with the weeds and dirt, then taking a break, you see a little flower that has bloomed and you think, "Wow, how beautiful." That's when you realize that a garden grows more than plants. I like to practice aikido with other people who are very good gardeners.”
Tom Anzalone - Software Release Manager
“I find Aikido to be a martial art that offers mindful exercise. Having prior martial arts experience, to me Aikido also offers that next level of skill, flexibility, and awareness that can be taken into all aspects of our lives, both personal and professional. The balance, movement, and symmetry gives me focus and a positive end-goal. I believe it helps us to stay youthful in mind and body, and with that we can persevere.”
Keith Oshiro - Professional Musician, Music Educator
“I think Aikido is a very effective, subtle and graceful martial art. Training at Kimusubi Aikido Orlando Dojo encourages personal growth and helps its members better their physical and spiritual lives. Increasing one's self-awareness, and confidence; improving balance, flexibility, stamina, and overall health are just some of the things Aikido will offer you. It will also awaken an inner calm, as well as deepen your ability to connect to others...valuable qualities we can use in our everyday lives.”
