Aiki Extensions. Harmony in Action through aikido

Aiki Extensions works to extend the Aiki Way across all borders– between body and mind, between persons, among disciplines, and among nations. We implement this by:

  • Modeling how to neutralize interpersonal aggression.
  • Networking instructors and practitioners
  • Extending aikido to novel training sites and situations
  • Exploring applications of aikido in bodywork, psychotherapy, and teaching
  • Bringing together practitioners from areas with histories of tensions for joint training seminars
  • Supporting the mission of all martial arts as ways to promote peace

    About Aiki Extensions

    Harmony In ActionAikido's Founder, Morihei Ueshiba, once called his martial art "a way to reconcile the world" and said: "I want to build bridges everywhere and connect all peoples through harmony and love. This I believe to be the task of aikido." Following that mandate, Aiki Extensions (AE) was formed in 1998 to deepen and extend the practice of aikido as an art of peace. Its members do so in unusual training sites such as schools and in centers for at-risk youth; by applying aikido ways to harmony in the healing arts and the expressive arts; and by promoting social harmony in venues that include Brazil, Ethiopia, the Middle East and the inner cities of North America.
