ABOUT AIKIDO
Aikido is a non-competitive and non-brutal martial art from Japan developed early in the 20th century by O Sensei; Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969). It is derived from traditional martial art forms, with movements that are flexible, rational, and efficient. The fundamental principle of Aikido is to evade, redirect or neutralize an attack by using an opponent's force against themselves. The practice of Aikido should coordinate and develop the mind, body, and spirit.
ABOUT MONTÉRÉGIE AIKIKAI DOJO
Montérégie Aikikai was founded to serve the Montérégie, Montréal south-shore, and surrounding areas by offering instruction in the discipline of Aikido, with an emphasis on physical and personal development. Over the years we have built a community where people from all backgrounds may develop themselves through training together.
Note: in addition to Aikido, the dojo also offers serious training in the complementary arts of Iaido (the traditional martial art of Japanese swordsmanship, with meditation, solo practice) and weapons (wooden sword and stick, partner practice). Contact us for introductory course information.
