What Aikido can teach

1) Highly Efficient and Effective Self-defence Techniques: By coordinating one movement with another's, one could learn to bring the opponent's strength into one's own sphere, thereby neutralising the attack. No matter what form it took, Aikido would only do enough to bring the attacker under control, using only small strength with as little physical harm as possible. Aikido uses the principle of non-resistance, non-violent way of defending oneself.

2) Awareness and Self-reflection physically and mentally: By training with various people by size, gender, age and background, you can learn the physical safe space and timing to act when you need. In addition, you will rediscover your personalities and learn how to control oneself by going through hard training.

3) A way to harmonise with others and situations: By learning Aikido techniques and awareness, you can obtain the calmness based on confidence but not self-conceit. Knowing you have both physical and mental strength you can be humble and flexible fitting yourself to live in harmony both at private and public environments.
