Aikido is a Japanese martial art founded by Morihei Ueshiba, also known as O'sensei (Great Teacher) based on the principles of balance and harmony. It is an effective style of self-defense, focusing on awareness and taking contorl of a situation instead of being controlled by it.

When practicing Aikido, we utilize circular movement to redirect attacks and we blend and 'lead' the attacker into a variety of throws or joint-tightening techniques.
