Aikido

Aikido, translating roughly as "the way of the harmonious spirit", is a Japanese martial art. Aikido techniques allow one to overpower their opponent without much strength, and without injury to either party.

Aikido was created in Japan by Ueshiba Morihei in the first half of the 20th century. As in all the Japanese martial arts, mental training is essential in aikido. Students of aikido try to achieve harmony of their spirits.
