What is Aikido?
Aikido is a modern martial art which Master Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969), the Founder of Aikido, created after mastering the essence of traditional martial arts in Japan and further going through hard mental training.
In aikido, trainees do not compete with each other for the sake of competition of power. They keep training with each other, through practicing techniques which are created by such bodily movements as irimi and tenkan, and thereby try to develop themselves mentally and physically.
Aikido, strongly disapproving of the idea of competition, has no contest at all. It consistently encourages people to respect each other and, for that very reason, is to be considered as one of the best modern martial arts in the present age where harmony among people is strongly needed.
