Aikido Shudokan Singapore is committed to introducing the principles of Aikido to the Singaporean community and fostering a culture of discipline, focus, and respect.
Aikido is a martial art that focuses on throwing, joint-locking, striking, and pinning techniques, as well as training with traditional Japanese weapons such as the sword (bokken), staff (jo), and knife (tanto). The core principle of Aikido is to harmonise with an attacker's energy without using excessive force, making it an effective self-defence system for people of all ages and physical abilities.
The history of Aikido can be traced back to the feudal society of 9th century Japan, drawing influence from various styles of jujitsu and sword fighting arts. Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido, incorporated techniques from daito ryu aikijujitsu and other martial traditions to create a unique and effective martial art. Aikido Shudokan Singapore upholds the values and techniques passed down by Ueshiba, providing students with a comprehensive training experience that blends physical conditioning, mental discipline, and self-defence skills.
Aikido Shudokan Singapore regularly hosts seminars, workshops, and open house events to engage with the community and promote the practise of Aikido.
