Purpose of the Hellenic Aikido Association
The purpose of the Hellenic Aikido Association is to contribute to the promotion of the spirit, the spread of culture and the cultivation of the cultural heritage of Japan through the interaction with the cultural heritage and culture in our country. Its parallel purpose is also the symmetrical and harmonious development of the spiritual, physical and mental forces and at the same time the creation of strong characters and refined personalities through the deepening in the study of the philosophy of art. Through thorough lecture and analysis of the theory, respect, gentle rivalry, social tolerance, self-discipline, strong will, responsibility, patience, perseverance, courage, self-control, patience, meekness and altruism are developed. By participating in events, demonstrations, motor skills and specially tailored activities, the development of active participation, communication, collaboration, teamwork and a positive approach to life takes place. Demonstrating these is not a means of selfishly projecting and reinforcing the "ego", pride, arrogance but cultivates modesty, a sense of offering and contributing to the public and personal improvement.
