Aikido is an excellent form of both physical and mental exercise. It is considered a "soft" art because of the lack of kicks and punches. Aikido incorporates body position, controlling the motion of the aggressor, and immobilization using joint locks.  Aikido is ideal for just about everyone, from teens to grandparents; it is especially attractive to women because it does not require the tremendous amount of strength required by other martial arts. Competition is not required to advance in Tomiki Aikido, but it does help sharpen your skills and a chance to practice what you have learned with other Aikidoka.

Aikido is an art based on the fundamental concepts of harmony or blending, inner power, and the purpose of developing the practitioner.
