Aikido is one of the most
practical of all of the Japanese martial arts, developed in the 1900's by it's
founder Morihei Ueshiba (1883 - 1969) known to all as O'Sensei (venerable
teacher).
Ai - Ki - Do meaning
co-ordination of "mind - body - spirit". It has often been said by many
aikidoists and fellow martial artists that aikido is the most difficult of all
the martial arts to learn, yet once a student learns to relax both mind and body
in coordination during practice they can progress quite quickly.
O'Sensei
had devoted his whole life to the study of the martial
arts, Daito Ryu founded by Sokaku Takeda (1859 - 1943)
was to have perhaps the most profound influence on his
development of Aikido. It was not until 1942 that
O'Sensei formally designated his study and teachings of
"The Way of Harmony" and the name Aikido was born.
On the
death of O'Sensei in 1969 he was succeeded by his son
Kisshomaru who became the Aikido Doshu, On the death of
Kisshomaru he was succeeded by his son Moriteru Ueshiba
who is the present Doshu.
