Welcome to the Puriton Aikido Club
"The way of harmony of the spirit" is a common English interpretation.
In a world of conflict, whether physical or mental due to the stresses of modern-day life, we can still learn how to create harmony within ourselves - we can avoid conflict or circumvent it in a manner that allows us to remain free from harm.
Aikido will improve physical and mental health, enabling us to focus on our daily tasks as well as permit time to spend on ourselves; a commodity very lacking in today's busy lifestyle.
Practiced by the young and elder alike, aikido is a non-aggressive art that relies on inner calm and mindful focus - not ego, physical prowess or a desire to fight.
"One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train." - Morihei Ueshiba
