Aikido

Home›Category: "Aikido" (Page 2)

Aikido (合気道) is a Japanese martial art created in the late 1950’s by O Sensei Morihei Ueshiba. Aikido is translated as “the Way of unifying energies”. Through the practice of Aikido, I have had the opportunity to meet many wonderful individuals and great martial artists. More than that, each time I have moved to a new country, Aikido has been the anchor that allowed me to meet new people and integrate within a new culture. This section contains numerous interviews and articles about the discipline, some written by some influential teachers.
