Welcome to the Texas A&M University Aikido Club, the only source of aikido inside our room/dojo, or in the hall for that matter. This is the club to join if you like falling. That's pretty much what we're all about. We practice falling just about every way possible. Of course, we don't like just falling over ourselves, we much prefer to have someone push us over. So for that we practice a little bit of aikido.
Aikido is a defensive martial art, Aikido is nonviolent. Aikido is forging of the spirit. Aikido is a lot of things, but foremost it is a lot of fun. Aikido uses the attacker's own energy against them in the way of throws, pins, and immobilizations. Timing and balance are far more important than strength or speed. Aikido tends to flow and relax rather than punch and kick.
The TAMU Aikido Club is a member dojo of Jiyushinkai, an international organization devoted to the study and teaching of budo. We have no tournaments or competitions. Only sincere, fun practice. What more do you need?
