Aikido

     The Aikido  whose meaning is "the path of energy and harmony" is a martial art from Japón created by Morihei Ueshiba in the year 1942. To creat the Aikido, Ueshiba was influence by other martial arts like Daito Ryu Aikijujitsu, kentjutsu, yarijutsu beetwen others, and of religion Omotokyo.

     Unlike other martial arts, in the aikido not use hits of fists or foots, but use the  evasion and circular or spiral redirection of the strength of the attacker, for this reason it is said that an aikido practitioner should not use his own strength to defeat his attacker.

     Aikido has now spread throughout Japan, demanding its practice in Japanese schools and police, because thanks to its characteristics, aikido can not be used to harm another person, only to make the "good".

     Although many people doubt the effectiveness of Aikido, I really like this martial art for the harmony and skill that practitioners develop, what makes it a very interesting art to learn and practice.
