Aikido First Post


Summary: Aikido, the modern Japanese martial art, was developed between the 1920s and 1960s and emphasizes the spiritual and philosophical development of its students. Aikido fighters are thus demonstrating an effective but merciful response. Ueshiba (the Great Teacher of Aikido) declared “To control aggression without inflicting injury is the Art of Peace.”


In this series of videos, see an expert demonstrate aikido moves, strikes, throws, locks, and drops. Take it a step further and learn an arm lock throw.
