Aikido: "Becoming one with the universe"

 

 Hello everyone,

Today's topic is AIKIDO. 

Aikido, was founded by a man named Morihei Ueshiba. Morihei Ueshiba was a practitioner of several martial arts which include and are not limited to: Jui jitsu, Spear fighting, and fencing. He felt that something was missing from the arts forms and that is when he began to develop Aikido. Morihei Ueshiba strongly believed that one must develop "KI" or spiritual energy. Here is a link that will explain further in depth: Aikido History 

Aikido is a great self defense martial art. One of our employes visited a local Akido Club in Mililani, HI and told us the moves and techniques he watched them perform were very balanced. The practitioner would use his opponents energy and direction against him using very little movement and power. Here is a video of some Aikido moves and technique:
