O-Sensei Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido, developed his martial art over many years based on principles of non-resistance and blending with an attacker's energy rather than directly opposing it. He drew from many martial arts including jujutsu, sumo, and kenjutsu, but sought to remove the intent to harm and focused on self-defense, protection of others, and creating peace in the world through Aikido's techniques and philosophy.
