Aikido 合気道

Aikido is a Japanese modern form of martial art, translated as "The Way of Harmony with Ki". Its effectiveness is the use of smooth, soft, circular movements while maintaining a firm center. It is possible to defend oneself from an opponent of superior size and strength, hence suitable for all ages, including children, ladies and the elderly.

The aim of Aikido training is not perfection of a technique or skill, nor to cause destruction, inflict injury or emerge as the winner. Rather, it is to harmonise or become one with nature, and it is this aspect that is appealing to many. Through Aikido practice, one's character is also developed so that one becomes focused with a strong mind within.

RP Open House 2009

Aikido IG had participated in the annual RP Open House on 10th Jan 2009. With the assistance of our Instructor Cheen Cheen and the fellow aikido IG members, the 2 workshops at 2pm and 4pm had successfully came to the end.

Instructor Cheen Cheen demonstrated the Arts and Ways of Aikido to the students of Temasek Junior College, 2 little guests from Taekwondo and our very own RP Judo IG members.

Its been a lot of fun out there enjoying and sharing the different aikido techniques with everyone. Most of the participants get a hands on of what is Aikido. They were all impressed by what aikido is like.

More information will be updated.
