      About us



Aikido is a Japanese martial art known for powerful, beautiful, logical movements. Aikido's deep attraction stems from its philosophy of harmony combined with vigorous physical practice. It promotes fitness, health, and all-around wellness. It transforms lives and helps build community by helping practitioners attain a more serene, focused mind and a goal-oriented life. Aikido can be enjoyed by both young and old.

The Makati Aikido Club -
founded and in continuous operation since 1983 - is recognized by Japan Aikikai world Aikido headquarters in Tokyo. All ranks and promotions conferred by MAC are recognized worldwide. The MAC is a founding member of the Filipino Federation of Aikido (FFA), a nationwide Aikido organization.

The Makati Aikido Club has a deep line-up of experienced instructors. These resources assure our students of safe, competently led, and appropriately paced learning.

The MAC is unusual in being emphatically noncommercial. Its instructors do not accept payment, preferring to practice and teach for love of the art.

Over 2,000 aikido practitioners, from various nationalities and occupations, have trained at the MAC since its founding. These have included professionals, diplomats, journalists, students, housewives, politicians, businessmen, and academics. MAC has at one time or another hosted Aikidoists from all the populated continents.

The MAC is headed by Chief Instructor Dam Amaranto.
