Aikido is a highly effective form of self-defense that teaches how to subdue even a much larger aggressor using minimum effort. Aikido, a true budo or martial way, evolved in the historic tradition of Japanese warrior arts. When studied in earnest, budo is not only a science of tactics and self-defense; it is a discipline for perfecting the spirit. The final aim of budo is the achievement of personal excellence, the development of a polished, balanced, and sensitive human character.
