Aikido is a martial art with few injuries because there are no matches, and hurting the opponent is not the goal.
Nonetheless, we do use our bodies, and there are the challenges of a martial art. Therefore, it is not possible to fully prevent even small injuries.
Therefore, we are very thorough in teaching not only ukemi (the technique to absorb the shock) but also the mechanisms of injuries and how to prevent them. We also flexibly incorporate tools to support and care for the body.
We also ask that all members enroll in sports insurance in case of an accident. Please consult the following pages for more information on this topic.
- On the “Membership (subtopic: Fees)” page
- Sports Safety Association (a Public Interest Incorporated Foundation) (link in Japanese only)
*To prevent serious injuries and consider emergency responses, etc., we ask that you communicate to the instructor at the time of registration if you have any concerns about your body.
