Aikido, a word that translates to “the way of harmonious spirit,” is a Japanese martial art that was developed by Morihei Ueshiba. Training focuses on using the force of the attacker rather than one’s own strength, making it a grappling art that shows concern for the well-being of the attacker, with students learning to protect themselves rather than harm another person.

Aikido training involves not only the learning of certain techniques, it also involves cultivating awareness of one’s opponent as well as self discipline.
