Pasadena Aikikai-School of Aikido

Description

For a basic understanding of the art of Aikido we should start with the man who created it. His name was Morihei Ueshiba.

He was a master of several different martial arts and weapon arts and formulated Aikido from these different arts. He was a very religious man who believed above all else that love is the ultimate truth and that through his art he could help the world realize this truth as well. He believed in self-protection and the loving protection of all living things. To train in Aikido is to better ones self in many ways: mentally, physically and spiritually.

Aikido has two main attributes. When one trains in Aikido, one learns not only how to execute the many techniques of Aikido but also how to receive the techniques without getting hurt in the learning process. This is called Ukemi or the art of falling. In Aikido, one learns many ways to keep ones body safe from an attack and many ways to control the attack of another.
