Aikido Ethiopia

So many of our students walk into our classes looking for better ways of relating to conflict within themselves, in relation to other people, or for the communities they see in conflict across the country. As a generative approach to resolving conflict, aikido touches all who long for alternatives to violence.

Utilizing the physical practice and fundamental philosophy of nonviolent resolution of conflict, Aikido represents an innovative strategy based upon an unflinching commitment to pursuing peace through reconciliation.

Senior-ranked and experienced international Aikido instructors participate in regularly scheduled visits to work with an increasing number of young students to encourage discipline, focus, compassion, and gratitude.

These principles promote rightful values and leadership skills of self-awareness and inter-connectedness necessary to build and nurture the individual and their community, and affords an opportunity to introduce alternative strategies of resolving conflict to a next generation of leaders in their communities.
