| DESCRIPTION | Contact: aikido.degreeplus@um.edu.mt Target students: Open to all students. Aikido practice is enjoyable and can be practiced by anyone in particular by women, as no extraordinary physical strength is required.

Aikido techniques are based on the principle of non resistance were aggression is not needed. Its powerful techniques are based on blending with an attacker’s energy and redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on.
