On these pages we will present Aikido as a martial art and also tell you how you can train it. The history of Aikido takes you to Japan and teaches those who are interested a few things about Japanese culture. It is easier to understand the characteristics and the philosophy of Aikido from this perspective.

Even young people can practice Aikido. Their training is more like playing, but essentially the same as for adults. The development of a training programme for young people is of central importance for Finland Aikikai.

Aikido is practised all over the world, which is nice for people who like to travel. You can practice the martial art in Tokyo and Stockholm as well as Dallas. In Finland the martial art has, of course, its own history and important special occasions.
