Aikido and its founder Morihei Ushiba O'Sensei
AIKIDO The Way of Energy and harmony Aikido (literally, energy and harmony away from ai = harmony, Ki = cosmic energy, do = way) is the historical result of long years of study conducted by its founder, Morihei Ueshiba, specialized experience in the field of major Japanese martial art, known in feudal times as Bujutsu.
Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969), also known as O Sensei, Grand Master, he began to practice jujutsu at the age of 13 years and spent the next 25 studying the use of the spear, stick, sword, fighting techniques in hands nude, and more at the most important schools of the time, excelling in every field application. the beginning of the century, the encounter with Sokaku Takeda, Master Daito founder of the school of jujutsu, is one of the decisive moments in its evolution, but not fully satisfied with the style Daito and, increasingly looking to the deeper meaning of martial arts in the early '20s he founded a style called Aiki-Bujutsu.
In the following years, the study of Shinto embodies the philosophical theoretical structure of new martial art that, by now evolved into a moral and spiritual elevation of Via in 1942 take the current name of Aikido. Wednesday, June 18, 2008
In the 30s the new rules is widely praise and acclaim from leading figures and of the greatest masters of martial arts experts (Jigoro Kano, the founder of Judo, Aikido will define his ideal budo) and in '37 the association founded by Ueshiba, the KOBUKAI, receives the status of non-profit organization in recognition of the high philosophical values, morals and education in Aikido is a carrier. Resurrected after the war, Aikido has their own today as the international center of Tokyo Hombu Dojo, Ueshiba founded in '31 by the same, and under the direction of his son, Doshu Kisshomaru Ueshiba, it has a large number of practitioners scattered in 55 countries. WHAT '
AIKIDO Aikido At first glance looks like an elegant method personal self-defense aimed at neutralizing, through locks, levers, joints and projections, from one or more attackers armed or unarmed.
Synthesis and evolution of ancient techniques changed from classical jujutsu and kenjutsu (the practice of the sword), Aikido is its originality and effectiveness in a series of movements based on spherical rotation. Unlike other martial arts focus on the linear (forward, backward, diagonally), the techniques of Aikido is based and developed on a circular motion whose pivot is the one who defends. In this way he stabilizes his center of gravity, pulling the opponent's disturbing in its orbit, and can leverage to their advantage from the aggressive energy to neutralize it. The absolute perfection of the performance is directly proportional to the achievement of more complete coordination that controls the action and the body that runs without any interposition of conscious thought. Mind and body, at the highest levels of practice are integrated by the action of ki, the cosmic energy that permeates traditional oriental philosophies in the universe and all living things, and that can be activated by appropriate abdominal breathing exercises performed with very consistent. Aikido goes beyond the limits of mere technical mastery autodifensiva and is characterized by both as a superior method of integration and coordination between the mind and body, the other as moving meditation and deep self-knowledge as a way to be pursued through the overcoming of conscious thought and research that result from the immediacy of an act intuitive. PRACTICE
Aikido is practiced on a mat wearing keikogi, the classic costume of white cotton used for judo, but the costumes are also accepted from karate and kung-fu, as long as whites. With the exception of children, which usually take special classes, the courses are open to all regardless of sex or age because Aikido aims to be a discipline for everybody. For beginners are first taught the techniques of fall (forward and backward), movements and basic techniques.

With the exception of children, which usually take special classes, the courses are open to all regardless of sex or age because Aikido aims to be a discipline for everybody. For beginners are first taught the techniques of fall (forward and backward), movements and basic techniques.
Classes start on his knees, sitting on his heels, with a brief merger with the ritual greeting and a picture of the founder and teacher, and continues with deep breathing exercises and concentration (kokyu-so-ren, control of 'total energy attravero the method of breathing). Well prepared mentally and spiritually, you run some quick warm-up exercises, stretching muscles and prevent falls. Learning occurs primarily through imitation. As in reality there is only one possibility of attack in Aikido (unlike for instance judo) there are no outlets to pre-keiko-gi practitioners because the training is designed to accustom the mind and body to neutralize different types of aggression (one taken at the wrist or jacket, a punch in the stomach, a blow to the head, from behind an attempt to immobilization, etc.).. An assistant then simulates an attack on a true Master who, in turn, shows the possible defensive responses. The students then, in pairs, in turn exchange the roles of attacker and defender to allow you to experience and "feel" the technique both from the performer, as part of the sufferer. Each technique is repeatedly performed by each Member practitioner and with the right side of the body is left with making an entrance in the dead space and bypassing the attack on the side. In addition to those with bare hands there are also studied, according to preliminary, techniques with the jo (wooden stick 126 cm long) and the bokken, a copy of the classic wooden Japanese sword used for training in the ancient schools of fencing. In the traditional Japanese martial art, Aikido also contemplates the execution of the same techniques learned in the knee in standing against an imaginary assailant, who was also kneeling or standing position.
Since there are punches, kicks or "sweeps" performed with the legs, Aikido is definitely martial art that has the lowest accident rate in relation to the number of practitioners and the many hours of training. There are belts of different colors to differentiate the skill levels achieved, the progression in the degree of skill and achievements are formally recognized after passing the relevant examinations set by the curriculum of the Aikikai Italy. Only black belts are allowed to wear hakama, wide trousers of the traditional Japanese costume. firstly proposes as a means of moral education and mutual respect, unlike other martial arts have enhanced the appearance of competitive Sports aim to win, the Aikido rejects all forms of competitive racing or, as the desire to excel el'egotismo ends to feed the ego. For this reason in training of Aikido is not an opponent to defeat, there is a winner and a loser, but only two people who, with modesty and spirit of cooperation, in turn change roles both equally important infinite process of learning.
There is, believe that Aikido is a kind of theatrical performance of the martial arts. Behind the sober elegance of its movements can hide a dangerous effect, but this is not the end that Morihei Ueshiba prefix. The purpose of Aikido is the creation of an invincible man, but a man who slowly through the practice recognizes the limits and the miseries that are hidden in his inner self and learn to live peacefully and harmoniously with itself and with reality social and natural surroundings.
