| About Aikido
AIKIDO OF NORTH JERSEY is a traditional dojo teaching the Japanese martial art of Aikido. Aikido was developed by Morihei Ueshiba, known to his students as O Sensei (" Great Teacher").
O Sensei was one of the greatest martial artists of all time and his Aikido is based on centuries-old fighting techniques. However, Aikido is unique among the martial arts in that its goal is to redirect and control aggression without inflicting injury on the attacker. Harmonizing with an opponent, harmonizing with oneself, and, eventually, harmonizing with the world is the ultimate purpose of Aikido.
The movements of Aikido are balanced, circular, and amazingly effective. You do not need to be big and athletic to begin training - through practice you will become strong and confident.
Men, women, and children of all ages and sizes find Aikido training to be satisfying, healthy and fun.
