Club Sport

Aikido Club

The Northwestern Aikido Club is a student club dedicated to the study of the martial art aikido. Aikido is a dynamic, powerful and graceful art founded early in the 20th century by Morihei Ueshiba. Training emphasizes decisive techniques of defense (throws, joint-locks, strikes, and immobilizations) as well as traditional weapons training (long sword, staff, and knife). These are practiced within the framework of a philosophy that seeks to avoid harming others whenever possible. Though a relatively modern art, Aikido is a potent distillation of centuries of martial knowledge. Through its techniques and principles, it transmits the most noble teachings of Japan's samurai tradition. Aikido is practiced by thousands worldwide, not only for fitness and self-defense, but as a vehicle for deep personal development. All Northwestern undergraduates, graduate students, staff members, and faculty are welcome to join the club. No experience is necessary and students may join during any time of the year. For more information, please visit our website, http://groups.northwestern.edu/aikido/.
