saw
our
Dojo
make
a
change
in
the
style
of
Aikido.
Our
new

is
Yoshinkan.
Aikido holds that the mind and the body are one. We need not struggle against an opponent's strength. If we lead their mind, their body will follow. To lead one must be calm, relaxed, and in control of his or her own mind and body.
