Aikido is a Japanese martial art created in the first half of the twentieth century by Morihei Ueshiba. It combines elements of classical jujutsu with concepts of movement and body management derived from sword fighting, and was in part framed by Ueshiba’s own spiritual beliefs. Aikido contains a syllabus of throws and joint-locks which can be adapted to a wide variety of situations. Much of aikido’s technical focus is on the achievement of relaxed, unstoppable power, derived from the development of internal connections within the body. The individual techniques serve to train the body to respond appropriately in a martial context.
