Training in Aikido normally involves two or more students working together. One acts as defender (Nage), the other(s) as attacker (Uke). There is no competition in Aikido, the 'attacker' simply provides a suitable attacking movement with which the 'defender' can practice the techniques. Winning the fight or beating the opponent is not the objective, rather Aikido seeks to blend with the movement and energy of the attack. This practice improves our harmony both physically and spiritually and teaches us how to divert agression in a positive way.
If you are interested in a Martial Art but don't want to spend years of receiving bumps and bruises then Aikido is a good choice.
