Welcome to the Madison Aikido Club. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to practicing and teaching the Japanese art of non resistance known as Aikido. Training in Aikido improves yours flexibility, awareness and spirit, all in a safe and non-competitive environment. The name Aikido comes from Ai, harmony, ki, spirit or energy and finally, do, path or way. So the word Aikido translates as the Path of Spirit Harmony. The Madison Aikido Club is a non-profit organization, a member of the Midwest Aikido Federation; affiliated with the United States Aikido Federation. New! Aikido for Young People Are your children interested in martial arts? Are you concerned about the options available to them? Aikido is different from many martial arts. It teaches students to defend themselves by not fighting. Instead of using potentially crippling kicks or punches, students of Aikido learn to apply various wrist locks, arm pins and throws. These neutralize attacks without serious injury to the attacker. It is ideal for young people because the techniques do not depend on superior size or strength. Girls and boys practice together and participate equally in training. The Madison Aikido Club holds Aikido classes for young people (age 8-15) on Thursday evenings. See our Classes section for details! |
