AIKIDO OF MISSOULA

At Aikido of Missoula we take a balanced approach in which martial awareness and technical effectiveness serve as the foundation for a vigorous, sensitive exploration of the profound principles of Aikido... Ultimately, Aikido is a journey toward the heart or center of existence. Aikido seeks an understanding of life that transcends dualities of offense/defense, weak/strong, self/other, opening a path toward wisdom and compassion. In the words of O Sensei, "There are neither opponents nor enemies in true budo. True budo is to be one with the universe; that is, to be united with the center of the universe."... Aikido is a dynamic martial art based on harmony and reconciliation. Literally translated, Aikido means the Way (Do) to Harmony (Ai) with Life Energy (Ki).
