‘Aikido’ is a Japanese martial art based on circular, flowing movements which originate from a relaxed body and fully centred mind. Regular practice engenders a sense of well being which extends beyond the training environment, and brings benefits to all aspects of life. It is a martial art based on respect for others, and for the whole of human existence.
In modern times the art of aikido has spread throughout the world, thanks to the efforts of dedicated individuals who are committed to sharing the teachings of O-Sensei and making Aikido available to all. This is a very positive development, but it also presents some challenges for Aikido.
Aikido is unique amongst the martial arts in its emphasis on spiritual discipline and its prioritization of the principles of harmony over direct attack. Many would also cite its training methods which include the study of ma-ai and de-ai, concepts of connection and kuzushi, the art of blending with an opponent rather than fighting him or her, and its perspective on indirect solutions to aggression as key features that distinguish it from other martial arts.
Morihei Ueshiba began studying various jujutsu systems from 1897, and developed a particular interest in Daito-ryu. His dissatisfaction with the prevalent ideals of fighting for victory by violence led to his establishment of aikido in 1919.
