Aikido-Based Somatic Integration (ABSI-PTSD)
An Educational and Practical Methodology for Aikido Instructors
Can Aikido training be organized in a way that is safer and more supportive for people who have experienced psychological trauma?
This book introduces Aikido-Based Somatic Integration (ABSI)—an original educational methodology that helps Aikido instructors create a calm, structured, and psychologically safe training environment.
Rather than presenting Aikido as psychotherapy or medical treatment, ABSI offers practical teaching principles based on trauma-informed practice: predictable class structure, respectful partner work, gradual progression, clear communication, and attention to personal boundaries.
Inside, you will learn:
the fundamentals of psychological trauma and PTSD;
the instructor's role and professional limits;
how to organize trauma-informed Aikido classes;
practical approaches to partner work and physical contact;
how to respond to panic attacks and other challenging situations;
ethical guidelines, checklists, and ready-to-use teaching tools.
Written for Aikido instructors but valuable for martial arts teachers and coaches in general, this book provides a practical framework for creating training that is safe, respectful, and supportive.
ABSI is an educational methodology, not a form of psychotherapy or medical treatment, and it is not intended to replace professional mental health care.
