Aikido Western Sydney Training can Improve your Lifestyle

Aikido is a Japanese martial art that was founded by Morehei Ueshiba in the early 1900's. This was a result of his desire to teach self-defence techniques and combine it with his religious beliefs and philosophies. This is the reason why it is often translated as "the way of harmonious spirit".  The result is also a non-violent, non-aggressive and non-competitive martial art that is good for every one of all ages and physical abilities. The ultimate goal of Aikido is to help its Practioners defend themselves but at the same time protecting the attacker from injury.
