What is Aikido
Aikido is a Japanese martial art created in the 1920s by its founder Morihei Ueshiba “O-Sensei” (1883-1969), who reached the highest expertise in Japanese martial arts. Aikido is performing mixing the movements of the opponent and redirecting its energy rather than to a confrontation. Aikido is not competitive. The aim of Aikido is not the perfection of a movement or a skill, but the improvement of our behavior according to the rules of nature.
