Our training combines unarmed fighting techniques with internal power conditioning and weapons (sword, staff and knife) in a system designed to further personal and societal development.
Through change, ten thousand endings
But only through one theory
The union of opposites
Aiki Budo is the Way of Human Development
Aiki is the fitting together of Ki.
Through this harmonious reconciliation all things under heaven and earth in the universe move peacefully without disturbance. This harmonization is Aiki.
As the Ki of Aiki is natural it unifies and reconciles without the slightest ill feeling or resistance.
The harmonious reconciliation that is Aiki must be the basis for the formation of human society.
This is the Great Circle of Harmony (Daienwa) of Aiki.
Through the principles of Aiki pacify and reconcile those threatening violence. If the enemy has already attacked, change and transform according to the attack of the enemy and reconcile fully through the principles of fitting together Ki.
Enlightened people have received this transmission from the Founder, Shinra Saburo Minamoto Yoshimitsu, and must train devoutly in the basics of Aiki no Jutsu as well as Taijutsu (Yawara), Tachi no Jutsu, Sojutsu, and Bojutsu to attain the state where Aiki Budo is the Way of Human Development.
- Yukiyoshi Sagawa, from The Discovery of Aiki by Kimura Tatsuo
