Aikido of Tamalpais

Our guide has passed on. We hold her noble, her awesome, her shiny. Domo arigato gozaimashta, sensei.

As a martial art, Aikido aims to redirect an attacker's energy rather than inflict harm. Aikidosts move toward and blend with attacks, transforming them into spiral throws. Often called a defensive or non-aggressive art, its masters are among the finest martial artists in the world.
