At Seido Aikikai, we believe in life.  We believe in taking pleasure in the positive elements of life.  We believe in laughter and having fun. 

We believe that Aikido is a tool developed by O Sensei to preserve the positive elements of life from the negative. 

We believe that everyone has the right to live free of fear, and to physically defend themselves and others against bodily harm. 

We believe that for Aikido to be effective, we must train with that goal in mind.
