The techniques of Aikido are neither fast nor slow, nor are they inside or outside. They transcend time and space.
--- Morihei Ueshiba-Sensei
Welcome
Aikido is a martial art developed in the principle of peaceful energy. Blending with the energy of your opponent, you absorb his hostility, neutralize it, and defeat your opponent without harm.
Aikikai is not one style of Aikido, but a study of all the styles of Aikido. Each instructor under Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido, had their own interpretation of what Aikido meant and their own way of moving. Aikido is the poem. Each school, a stanza. Only by studying the whole can we seek to understand its meaning.
Platte City Aikikai is taught by Sensei Todd Dodson at the Platte City YMCA Community Center. We invite you to join us and study the Way of Peace together.
