Aikido

Aikido is a budo, or martial art, originated by Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969) as an outgrowth of his studies of Daito-ryu jiujitsu, Kito-ryu jiujitsu, sword and spear. The techniques of aikido consist of pins, locks and throws, however the defining characteristics of it are blending with the force of an attack, controlling the attack, and ultimately using this energy to unbalance and control the attacker.
