Aikido
Traditional Aikido was developed by Master Morihei Ueshiba in Japan. It is an effective discipline for the development, integration and utilisation of all man's powers, both physical and mental (spiritual).
Aikido means method or way (do), harmony (ai) of mental energy or spirit (ki).
The discipline of Aikido is relatively new to Cyprus and was first introduced by Sensei Agis Agisilaou, the Martial Arts Academy's Chief Instructor with the technical support of Sensei Eva Szekerez and Sensei George Stavrou.
Aikido is basically a Japanese art of self defense and is used successfully by the Armed Forces, the Police and other similar services in Japan and in many other countries. Aikido is also very popular among women because it is the most effective method of self defense since it does not require great muscular strength.
