Aikido

The overall meaning of Aikido is “The Way of Harmonizing with Life Energy.” The philosophy of Aikido is to develop life energy without associating it with victory or defeat. This discipline aims to maintain balance and harmony between the mind, spirit, and body while teaching individuals ways to live a conflict-free life in all aspects.

In this sense, Aikido contributes to one’s mental, physical, and spiritual development in a non-competitive environment. Atakan Utku (Aikikai, 4th Dan), who teaches Aikido to participants of all ages at Turkey’s leading institutions, brings Aikido to Hisar Academy students at an international standard through seminars held within the academy.
