What is Aikido?

Aikido is a Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969). During his life Morihei came to study several of the old classical schools of martial arts which were developed by the Japanese samurais.

From what he learned he developed his own synthesis based on the principal of how to harmonize whit the forces. By doing so he created a new martial art which was named aikido “the way to harmonize with the forces of the universe”.
