New Delhi: Thinking of martial arts brings to mind action, sweat and sometimes even blood. But Aikido is a peaceful form of martial arts.
Think of Steven Segal's fluid and fast motions in Under Seige. Think black belt in martial arts. And think Aikido.
No kicks, no punches and it's still a popular form of martial arts the world over.
Aikido is a Japanese form of defensive and non-agressive martial art, which uses the opponents strength to render them helpless.
So next time someone tries to gets agressive or picks up a fight, don't get nervous. Just stay calm and use Aikido to divert the attack.
The largest Aikido school is the Nippon Kan in the United States. The founder of the school, Gaku Homma Shihan, is a direct student of the founder of Aikido - Morehei Ueshiba. Homma Shihan or Sensei as he is popularly called.
Gaku Homma Shihan flew down to Delhi from Colorado with his nine disciples and taught people what they have to do when faced with a situation like a weapon attack or if grabbed from the back or the side and taken by surprise.
Aikido is not only for self defense, it is also a great way to a fitter body and a healthy mind.
It improves breathing, stretches the body and boosts circulation. Stressed souls might consider foregoing the gym and start learning Aikido instead.
