Shintaido is a unique combination of martial arts and body movement that cultivates the spirit along with the mind and body, which is why it has been called a moving meditation. Shintaido's forms exemplify openness and freedom and its movements provide a new way of experiencing our relationship with ourselves, with others, with nature, and with the spiritual world. It was started in Japan in the 1960's under the leadership of Mr. Hiroyuki Aoki with a group of martial artists and fellow craftsmen from the field of performing and visual arts.
Because of Shintaido's artistic nature, it is popular among people who are interested in change, self-development, and re-connecting with their bodies, their community, their spiritual nature. In Japanese, Shintaido means "new body way."
