Aikido is for everyone

Aikido is a non-competitive Japanese martial art. There are no tournaments and no winners or losers — partners train together, blending with an attack instead of meeting force with force. It is not Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or a sport grappling style. People of every age, size and fitness level train side by side. Las Vegas Aikikai is a member dojo of the United States Aikido Federation (USAF).
