WHAT IS AIKIDO?Aikido is a Japanese Martial Art created during the 1920s by Morihei Ueshiba (1883~1969), an expert who reached the highest level of mastery in the classical Japanese Martial Arts. Aikido is performed by blending with the motion of the attacker and redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on. Aikido techniques include a variety of throws and joint-locks, as well as weapons training. Aikido has no competition, and practitioners train by alternating roles of attack and defense. In Aikido, as in virtually all Japanese martial arts, there are both physical and mental aspects of training.
