Founded in 1972, the U.T. Aikido Club is the oldest aikido school in Austin. The club is led by 6th-degree black belt Steve McAdam with the help of many black belt assistant instructors.

Aikido is a system of self defense based on relaxed coordination of mind and body, rather than strength. Although its primary aim is protection against physical attacks, the philosophy and technique of aikido can also be used to help deflect the stresses and strains of everyday life. At its gentlest, aikido helps you remain calm while having a pile of work to do; at its most strenuous, aikido is the art of dancing with a partner who is trying to kill you.
