Seiki is a Japanese term describing a person’s “true heart” or intention. 

Aikido is a modern martial art (budo) with techniques originating from Japanese jujutsu, aikijutsu and kenjutsu (sword arts).  Aikido utilizes an opponent’s energy and aggression by deflection, avoidance and redirection.   

We are a unique martial arts school in Cincinnati in that we teach basic concepts and techniques and allow each student to develop himself or herself in a way that best fits their personal goals.
