Aikido is a traditional martial art based on the cooperative technique. The creator of Aikido, teacher Morihei Ueshiba

despite the excellence of his technique questioned the value of an art that is based on winning someone.

According to Morihei Ueshiba the real path of a martial art is a work of love.

  Aikido is an expression of  that understanding in action by using  both  body and spirit.

Aikido is an art of amazing power and high aesthetics.

In order for someone to understand Aikido's basic principle better and how it differs from other

martial arts one has to observe how the training is being held.
