"As you get older, your muscles weaken, and you can no longer lift and pull. Unlimited strength comes from breath power. If the other person comes powerfully against you, and you respond by simply taking his power into yourself, There is no need for any effort".

Aikido is not a system of combat, but rather a means of self improvement. Aikido has no tournaments, competitions,contests, or "sparring".

All Aikido techniques are learned cooperatively. The goal of Aikido is not to defeat others, but the defeat of the negative characteristics which inhibit one's own mind and its functioning.

Aikido, however is a self defense art. The main reason competition in Aikido is not allowed is that many Aikido techniques would have to be excluded because of their potential to cause serious injury. By training cooperatively, even the lethal techniques can be practiced without injury.

At Millennium Martial Arts we integrate Weapons training with the basics or advanced aikido techniques. The three principle weapons used in Aikido are Jo (4 ft wooden staff), Bokken (wooden sword) and Tanto (wooden knife).
