Aikido
AIKIDO is a Japanese Martial Art developed by Morihei Ueshiba.
Aikido can be translated as "The Way of Harmony with Nature" and is a very effective way of defending yourself whilst also protecting your attacker(s) from injury. The self-defence techniques that you will learn range from the gentlest to the most severe – they can be devastating, ending an attack decisively in seconds, or dissipating the attack with the essence of a soft breeze.
02
Techniques
AIKIDO techniques are frequently referred to as WAZA.
Aikido training is based primarily on two partners practicing pre-arranged forms (kata) rather than freestyle practice. The basic pattern is for the assailant (uke) to initiate an attack against the person who applies the technique—the tori or nage (when applying a throwing technique), who neutralises this attack with an aikido technique.
