Martial
arts are systems of codified practices and
traditions of training for combat.

Aikido, is a Japanese martial art developed by Morihei
Ueshiba as a synthesis of his martial studies, philosophy, and religious
beliefs. Aikido is often translated as "the Way of unifying (with) life
energy" or as "the Way of harmonious spirit." Ueshiba's goal was to create
an art practitioners could use to defend themselves while also protecting
their attacker from injury.
Aikido is primarily a grappling art in which attacks are neutralised with
various types of throws or joint locks.Aikido techniques are intended to
be implemented after first blending with the motion of the attacker, so
that the defender may redirect the attacker's momentum without directly
opposing it, thus using minimum effort.
Aikido derives mainly from the martial art of Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu, but
began to diverge from it in the late 1920s, partly due to Ueshiba's
involvement with the Ōmoto-kyō religion. Many of Ueshiba's senior students
have different approaches to aikido, depending on when they studied with
him. Today, aikido is found all over the world in a number of styles, with
a broad range of interpretation and emphasis. However, they all share
techniques learned from Ueshiba and a caring for the well-being of the
attacker.
