Aikido is a traditional Japanese martial art. Its movements appear soft and flowing due to their non-conflicting nature. However they are at the same time very subtle and powerful as the art's techniques and philosophies are derived from the principles of the Japanese sword and battlefield arts. Martial arts exist to resolve conflict.
What makes Aikido different is how it resolves conflict. Combing with the intentions of others, rather than simply overcoming them with strength or speed, is the only way to "win" without having to defeat others. Kimusubi, therefore, is the tying together of ki (energy) between individuals. Kimusubi aikido emphasizes establishing strong connections between uke and nage, in order to move in accord with one another during technique.

Report
Different aikido schools have different rules and regulations regarding what they believe and therefore what they teach. Aikido is a spiritual pursuit through a physical means of practice. It teaches us to release our fear and embrace the natural order of things. With this - as with any physical activity - pursuit comes the chance of injury.
Our Lineage
Report
Exploring the present-day aikido landscape, one finds that most schools follow a particular student of the Founder who - at one time or another - had direct interaction with him. While many of these direct students claim to follow the "true" teachings of O Sensei, it can be argued that the Founder taught a diverse range of technique and philosophies over his lengthy martial arts career.
FAQ's
Report
Aikido's founder, Morihei Ueshiba O Sensei, developed his art based on the principles of "budo" (the martial arts). In budo, if a warrior loses, they are killed or crippled. This is not the case with sporting competitions where opponents are bound by rules and are permitted to continue for the duration of the match.
