INTRODUCTION

Aikido is a Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba as a


synthesis of his martial studies, philosophy, and religious beliefs. Aikido
is often translated as "the way of unifying (with) life energy" or as "the
way of harmonious spirit." Ueshiba's goal was to create an art that
practitioners could use to defend themselves while also protecting their
attacker from injury.

Aikido techniques consist of entering and turning movements that


redirect the momentum of an opponent's attack, and a throw or joint lock
that terminates the technique.

Aikido derives mainly from the martial art of Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu, but
began to diverge from it in the late 1920s, partly due to Ueshiba's
involvement with the Ōmoto-kyō religion. Ueshiba's early students'
documents bear the term aiki-jūjutsu.

Ueshiba's senior students have different approaches to aikido,


depending partly on when they studied with him. Today aikido is found
all over the world in a number of styles, with broad ranges of
interpretation and emphasis. However, they all share techniques
formulated by Ueshiba and most have concern for the well-being of the
attacker.
