AIKIDO



合氣道





Aikido was developed and founded by Morihei Ueshiba, respectively referred to as O'Sensei, from the unarmed samurai arts of old, Aikido has something to offer everyone. It does not require a person to be or become an athlete because it generates its power from blending with an opponent's strength and aggression. This allows a much smaller person to redirect an attack safely from its intended target, creating an opportunity to escape to safety.
If one can move, once can perform its techniques in an effective manner. If one can keep an open mind and approach life with an empty cup anything becomes possible.

​


To define Aikido we look at the kanji.


合 Ai (pronounced eye) This kanji means harmony as well as meeting.


氣 Ki (pronounced key) This kanji means energy.


]道 Do (pronounced dough) This kanji means way or path.


My definition of Aikido is then: The way of harmonizing meeting energies. This is after all what we do with every single technique.
