Description:
Aikido /īˈkēdō/ is a modern Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba or “O’Sensei” as a synthesis of his martial studies, philosophy, and religious beliefs. Aikido is often translated as “the way of unifying (with) life energy” or as “the way of harmonious spirit.” O’Sensei’s goal was to create a self-defense art that practitioners could use to defend themselves while also protecting their attacker from injury.

Since its inception, judo has grown tremendously with over 200 national federations and 5 continental unions worldwide.
