Martial Arts
Aikido is a Japanese martial art that focuses on self defence and teaches you how to control a situation by harmonizing yourself with an attacker's movement and mind. It was created by the great Japanese master Morihei Ueshiba in the early twentieth century and is now practised by many thousands of people all around the globe. It's an art that is often beautiful to watch but also extremely effective against both armed and unarmed attackers. Since it doesn't require strength anyone can master it, although you should be reasonably fit and agile.

Practice in Aikido consists of weapons training, empty handed techniques, such as joint locks and throws, and working with multiple attackers Training is vigorous, but non-competitive, as you work in partnership with other students.
