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.
The U of M Aikido Club is focused on introducing the art of Aikido to the University of Minnesota community and offers year-round practice. We look forward to seeing you on the mat!
