Aikido School of Self Defense

Aikido School of Self Defense, MB is a martial arts school in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, centered on the tradition of Nihon Goshin Aikido. Its approach emphasizes practical self-defense through a blended system that incorporates judo-style throws, jujitsu-based joint locks, and karate striking, reflecting a broad method rather than a single defensive principle. The school’s identity is tied to the lineage of Master Shodo Morita, who founded Nihon Goshin Aikido in Hokkaido, Japan, in the 1940s and developed it as a composite art shaped by extensive experience across multiple Japanese martial disciplines.
