Welcome to the University of Minnesota Aikido Club
Virtual Dojo.
Celebrating 35 years on campus
Classes are ongoing year-round. Please come and join us any time!
Aikido is a Japanese martial art with roots in Ju Jitsu. Using body positioning and dynamic motion, an attacker’s energy is redirected into a throw, joint lock, or pin. Emphasis is placed upon the harmonization between attacker and defender to diffuse a conflict peacefully.
