The word Aikido is usually translated as "The Way of Harmony." It is difficult to define Aikido precisely because its meaning lies in the actual experience of the art. As one trains, the meaning becomes clear and deepens. The following description from The Shambala Guide to Aikido by John Stevens provides a basic glimpse of three dimensions of Aikido: The principles of Aikido need to be experienced through actual practice.
No prior experience necessary. Easy to moderate pace. Focus is on basic stance and movements (kihon dosa), safe falls and rolls (ukemi); and selected Aikido techniques. Students begin to develop an awareness of the principles of balance and centeredness that are the essence of Aikido. Introductory course fee is $60 for 10 lessons.

I love love love this aikido dojo. I'm a complete noob to all physical activity but wanted to try a martial art after watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. I chose Shuharikan because their approach to beginners is very open and fun. No "Bow to your sensei!" militaristic vibe here! Everyone is friendly and engaged in learning. No senseless drills, no hostility or anything that would turn off a beginner. They even have a low-impact aikido class on Thursdays. Great community and great people.
