Aikido of Gainesville
You'll meet some of the nicest people on the Aikido mats!
Aikido is a non-aggressive form of self defense for defending yourself with dignity and grace. This may include just turning your body or just deflecting the attacker's body. However if more extreme measures are required, the focus is to finish the confrontation quickly and decisively. In short, this means WIN!!! FAST!!! Don't trade punches. Don't wrestle. WIN!!! NOW!!!
You are not taught to go looking for a fight. You are taught to avoid the fight. Go the other way. If you are never attacked, you may never have to use this. However, If you are attacked and there is no escaping, then finish the confrontation immediately in a way that teaches the attacker to NEVER think of attacking you again. This is tough love. This is skeletal manipulation.
