Aikido Committee

Aikido is a Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba (often referred to by his title ‘O-Sensei’ or ‘Great Teacher’). On a purely physical level, it is an art involving throws and joint locks that are derived from Jujutsu and Kenjutsu. Aikido focuses on using an opponent's own energy to control or throw them. Aikido places emphasis on motion and the dynamics of movement.​

The MUMAA believes that all variations of Aikido have something to offer our Aikidoka. We believe that all styles can peacefully coexist under one banner.
