Description

Aikido

Aikido is a true budo or martial way developed in Japan by Morehei Ueshiba, or O Sensei (great teacher) as he is called by his students. O Sensei was a gifted martial artist whose early mastery of the sword, staff, spear, and art of ju-jitsu won him wide acclaim.

It was the essence of budo O Sensei sought, not merely form. Intense and strong willed, he underwent rigorous physical and spiritual training, attaining levels of almost superhuman ability. Eventually, in the quest for mastery he gained enlightenment and insight into the nature of the martial artist’s path. He integrated these realizations into a science he called Ai-ki-do, “the way of unity with the Universal Force.”

Dynamics of Aikido

The fundamental nature of Aikido technique is spherical motion around a stable, energized center. As in a tornado or whirlpool, the forces created not only deflect the force of the attack, but also draw the attacker into the Aikidoist’s control. Aikido is known for its graceful techniques, swift, seemingly effortless movements that fling an attacker through the air, or, by means of subtle pressure applied to the joints that immobilize and control the opponent. Either effect is the result of precise timing, leverage, and the instinctive use of centrifugal and centripetal forces.
