Aiki means the defender blends without clashing with the attacker, then goes on to dominate the assailant through the application of internal strength or Ki energy to effect techniques. Blending with an attacker’s movements allows the Aiki practitioner to control the actions of the attacker with minimal effort. Long time aikido instructor John Smartt will be in the Athens-Clarke County Library to explain and show us how Aikido is the Way of Harmony. Free and open to the public.
