Aikido Technique

Aikido (Japanese: 合 気 道, aikidō) is a martial art that has its roots in growth and culture from Japan. Aikido is a manifestation of the modernization of Japanese thinking with traditional Japanese cultural blankets. This made martial arts developed by Morihei Ueshiba around the 1800s (植 芝 盛 平 Ueshiba Morihei) to be in great demand among various circles in this modern age as a lifestyle. The root of aikido martial arts comes primarily from an ancient martial tradition that is hereditary only owned by a palace family, namely "Daito Ryu Aiki-Jujutsu (or ju-jutsu)".

In the old tradition "Jutsu" means an "art" or "art", so this old form has its own grip as a tradition with a certain motion order. "Daito" is a name that refers to the name of a palace, namely Daito. "Daito" is a palace belonging to the son of Emperor Seiwa named Minamoto Genji Yohimitsu. Yoshimitsu inherited this science by the sixth son Emperor Seiwa is Prince Teijun who is very fond of martial arts.

Morihei Ueshiba, commonly referred to as O-Sensei, studied the science of "Aiki" from this science heir teacher, "Sokaku Takeda". "Takeda" is a family name that is nothing but the other name of the "Minamoto" family. With such a great talent, Morihei Ueshiba has spread his disciples all over the world to introduce the beauty of this aikido martial arts science. Currently, aikido has grown to at least 93 countries in Asia, Europe, America, Australia and parts of Africa.

While other martial arts generally focus primarily on physical speed and strength during practice. The preferred techniques for this martial sport are throwing techniques (similar to dings), locks, and elakan. And instead kicks and punches are techniques that are rarely used or even eliminated in aikido colleges.
