Aikido is a martial art similar to Judo in that it teaches a student how to use the enemy's energy against himself. However, since Aikido was developed by a highly spiritual man, as "the way of harmonious spirit," his goal was to create an art that practitioners could use to defend themselves while also protecting their attacker from injury. The dojo on Henry Ave. is the headquarters for the Aikido Association of North America and is home to its president Yukio Utada. So whether you want to learn self-defense or begin an entirely new way of life, come visit this Dojo and see if it's for you!
