Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art; it is dedicated to self defense and focused upon throws, joint-locks and striking. Practitioners will train both empty handed as well as with weapons which include, sword, staff, and knife. Practically, the techniques taught in Aikido are designed to end a conflict with rapidity and permanence, but most practitioners find its usefulness to extend beyond martial tactics to assist them in personal growth and development.

Bluegrass Budokai is an associated Aikido school of Shinjinkai, The Japanese Martial Arts Society, which is under the direction of Meido Moore Sensei. To read more about Shinjinkai and Moore Sensei, please click on the link found here.
