Aikido is a Japanese martial art that was developed in the first half of the 20th century by O-Sensei Morihei Ueshiba. It draws on ancient budo principles for unarmed self defense, staff and sword fighting. Aikido focuses on adequate reactions to attacks, while using the connection to work with the partners' energy without hurting them. The non-violent techniques express both respect and readiness towards the attacker.
