Harmony in Movement

Aikido with mind and body coordination

Do you want to develop your self-confidence and enjoy the art of blending with others in powerful ways?

Aikido is a self-development system based on ancient martial arts principles (Budo), ideal for the modern world because it emphasises calmness and de-escalation - not fighting. An aikido practice is highly enjoyable, and you will experience states and skills that will benefit you in all conflicts - mental or physical - and help you get more out of life.

You will tap into your inner power, strength, and stability in minutes, and eventually learn how to manage attackers effortlessly, effectively, and safely. It will feel like a dance, and leave you exhilarated! Suitable for all fitness levels.

Aikido is a system for:

Learning about your body
Exploring conflict safely
Discovering your innate energy
Finding and spreading peace
Harmonising with natural laws
Facing your inner self

MindBody Aikido is the only aikido school in Auckland actively teaching the principles of MindBody Coordination (Shin Shin Toitsu).

MindBody Coordination, as emphasised by masters of all arts for hundreds of years in Japan, enables you to practice aikido that is flowing, graceful, effective, and effortless. This is the meaning of "being in the Zone."


MindBody

Using the mind and body together  creates stability and strength, and taps into hidden reserves of power. It is an approach that bypasses intellect, and enables one to learn by feeling and experience.

Aiki

Harmony with Subtle Energy (Ki), when translated to relationships and conflict situations, provides felt strategies for maintaining self-power while influencing others for mutual benefit. 

Do

Do means a Way, a lifetime pursuit, exploration, and mastery of any technique - art, writing, martial arts - that eventually gives insight into one's essential self, and an abiding sense of peace and love.
