Aikido is possibly one of the most sophisticated martial arts. It is a highly stylized form employing wrist, elbow and shoulder twists. Students of aikido believe that it is a way of developing coordination of the mind and body , with the purpose of creating a more fully integrated individual. Developed by Master Morihei Ueshiba , Aikido is based on Japanese warrior arts called Bujutsu , an effective means of self-defense. The techniques provide an effective defense against an unprovoked attack by one or even several opponents. A technically skilled practitioner is able to subdue an attacker without inflicting serious injury. Aikido employs circular movement as well as joint locking to neutralize an opponent.
