Aikido’s purpose is to create harmony; body and spirit’s harmony, harmony between your partner and you, and harmony with everything moving within the Universe (Nature).

Aikido is a martial art whose purpose is a healthy body and the spiritual peace, to avoid conflict with anybody and to avoid Nature’s deterioration; to abstain using force in order to satisfy ones desires, and to obtain unity with the Universe. Unlike conflict or fighting which happens whenever there is a crash between powers, Aikido is about uniting power with power in order to reach the conflict’s resolution. The power transformation allows the birth of Aikido Technique.
Aikido always maintains this ideal without regard to the situation arising. In reality, all martial arts share this ideal.
