About Aikido:
Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba as a synthesis of his martial studies, philosophy, and religious beliefs.
It is often translated as "the way of unifying (with) life energy" or as "the way of harmonious spirit".
Techniques in Aikido include irimi (entering), turning movements (that redirect the opponent's attack momentum), various types of throws and joint locks.
