Aikido of Sacramento

What is Aikido?

Aikido, a non-competitive martial art, uses one's own internal energy combined with the opponents attacking energy to blend, redirect, and take control of the situation. AI-KI-DO is a combination of three words. AI (eye) means to harmonize. KI (key) refers to the development and use of your internal energy. DO (dough) has the same meaning as the chinese word TAO or DAO, a PATH or WAY of learning and living.

Aikido of Sacramento offers a safe, fun and challenging atmosphere for classical Aikido practice. Our Martial Arts curriculum emphasizes building a strong foundation of basic movement, rolling and falling techniques, "center-to-center" contact, fluidity, sensitivity and personal growth. A beginning students lessons start slowly and move progressively forward , step-by-step, at each individual's pace.
