Aikido is a Japanese martial art that utilizes circular motion to neutralize an attack. Refined from samurai battelfield techniques, Aikido blends effective technique with high moral philosophy.

The Aikido taught at FFC is the Yoseikan style. Yoseikan Aikido was developed by Master Minoru Mochizuki and is based on the pre-war teaching style of his instructor, Master Morihei Ueshiba. Techniques during the pre-war period were combat oriented and thus used smaller circular motions. yoseikan also incorporates techniques from jodo (throws & reaps), karate (strikes, kicks) and iajutsu (sword fighting). These arts are blended together to form a comprehensive martial art called Yoseikan.
