  Aikido for Women

"Aikido provides practical self defense techniques for women. Aikido is truly an idea

martial art for both men an women"

The techniques do not rely on physical strength for their effectiveness. Aikido is a positive martial art.  In Aikido, one defends themselves from an attack by adding her strength to the strength of the attacker.  If some one attacks with one hundred percent of their power, an Aikido-ka  can add as little as 1% of their own strength to the opponent's attack in order to neutralize it.  By absorbing your attacker's power you even  become stronger.  This what allows the smaller person to overcome someone much larger.  It also gives a small female the power to toss much bigger and stronger attacker with no effort at all.
"The absence of competion in Aikido also appeals to many women"

Aikido is an excellent martial art for women, its reliance on timing, balance and techniques,  it make it a form of selfdefence ideally suite to smaller less  muscular people.

The effectiveness of Aikido makes Aikido the only one recornizedj martial art taught to the  Tokyo police force.  It is mandatory for all female officers.
