What is Nihon Goshin Aikido?
It is a method of self-defense that uses the attacker’s own energy (the force of his attack) against him, minimizing the amount of effort we have to use to defend ourselves.
Nihon Goshin Aikido literally translates to “The Way of Japanese Self-Defense in Harmony with the Energy of the Attack” (Nihon = Japanese, Goshin = Self-Defense, Aikido = The Way in Harmony with the Energy/Spirit).
