Aikido

Shodokan Aikido is sometimes referred to as 合気道競技 which translates to “Competitive Aikido” or “Sport Aikido” because of its use of regular competitions. Shodokan places a higher emphasis on free form randori sparring more than most other styles of aikido. Aikido translates to “the way of harmonious spirit”. There are 3 stages to effective Aikido i.e. Avoid, break balance and apply throw or lock. In Japanese it is Tai Sabaki, Tsukuri and Waza or Kake.
