Aikido

­Aikido is a practical, healthy, non-violent, non-aggressive Japanese martial art developed early in the 1900's by its founder, Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969)., now known as O-Sensei (venerable teacher). In Japanese, Aikido means: "The way of coordinating the mind, body, and spirit of the practitioner." Aikido looks almost impossible when watching a skilled performer (man or woman) defeat several attackers at a time. While it looks difficult, after training it really is not. Anyone who spends the time and effort to learn this incredible martial art can walk through life with confidence. Aikido training involves physical, mental, spiritual and ethical disciplines. It includes empty hand techniques and defenses against multiple attackers, knife, gun, and club. More....from the American Institute of Martial Arts ­See also ­­ Aikidofaq
