--What is "AIKIDO"??--

AIKIDO(合気道, also 合氣道 literally meaning "harmony energy way") is a Japanese martial art. On a purely physical level it is an art involving some throws and joint locks that are derived from Jujitsu and some throws and other techniques derived from Kenjutsu. It is not a static art, but places great emphasis on motion and the dynamics of movement. Aikido incorporates a wide range of techniques which use principles of energy and motion to redirect and neutralize the attack. At its highest level, aikido can be used to defend oneself without causing serious injury to either the aggressor or the defender. If performed correctly, size and strength are not important for efficency in the techniques. Aikido is considered one of the most difficult of the Japanese martial arts to gain proficiency in.
