Richmond Aikido Kai

Richmond Aikido Kai Aikido, an effective martial art not relying on strength or violence. All are welcome! We Practice Takemusu Aikido.

Directly translated, this means “The Way of Harmony Born (or Created) from Conflict.” Our goal is to learn a response to conflict that is constructive, not destructive - regardless of the form the conflict takes. To do this, we train the mind as well as the body, and we cultivate a community of others who are doing the same. To create harmony from conflict, we need all of these tools: sound mind,

capable body, and supportive community. If you have not practiced clearing your mind of noise and clutter, you will struggle to respond constructively to assaults on the mind. Until you discipline your body to sleep enough, eat enough, relax unneeded tension, and move with control, you may not respond constructively to attacks on the body. And only when you habitually practice building your community, can you expect to draw on your community in times of need.
