Aikido (???:?????, Aikido, also written as???:?????) bud? is Gendai, a modern Japanese martial art, developed by Morihei Ueshiba. Art consists mainly of the body and threw together-locking technique. Known for convenience, stressed Mixing with the attacker rather than force a meeting with force.
Spirit of Aikido
Aikido the word is formed of three Japanese characters,
*?- ouch – Harmony, unity; must comply with or to join.
*?- ki – Spirit; Life force or the universal creative energy.
*?- do – or the way the road.
Aiki arts is the principle or tactic. This usually describes a picture or oneness Mixing in the midst of combat. This principle finds expression in the concept of the lethal as the real-uchi (???:????, ai-uchi?), That means “each attack / kill,” but in general it describes the concept of Aikido higher than Mixing match. The emphasis is on the rhythm and join with the purpose of the opponent in order to find the optimal position and time that will apply the technique.
The techniques of Aikido can, if applied judiciously, divert or disabling of the damage or kill. As a result, consider some practical Aikido become the symbol of the meeting of aggression (physical, verbal, etc.) with effective but humane response, and find harmony in the conflict. Ueshiba states, “To control aggression without inflicting injury is the Art of Peace.” [1]
History
Aikido as envisioned by its founders, not only the synthesis of the founders of the military’s training, but also the expression of personal philosophy of universal peace and reconciliation. Today, Aikido continue the evolution of kory? (old-style martial arts), to various military expression by the artist in the world.
Military and Aikido founder of the study’s
Aikido was created by Morihei Ueshiba (????Ueshiba Morihei, December 14, 1883-26 April 1969), also known by practicing Aikido as ?sensei ( “Great Teacher”). Aikido Ueshiba developed mainly during the late 1920s through 1930 through a synthesis of old arts that he had studied. Military core of art that is Dait? comes Aikido-ry? aiki-jujitsu, which Ueshiba learn directly with Takeda Sokaku (????Takeda S?kaku, 1859-1943), which is revivor art. In addition, Ueshiba have been known to learn Tenjin Shin’yo-ry? with Tozawa Tokusabur? (?????, 1848-1912) in Tokyo in 1901, Got?ha Yagyu Shingan-ry? under Nakai Masakatsu (????, fl. 1891-1908) in the Sakai from 1903 to 1908, and judo with Kiyoichi Takagi (?????Takagi Kiyoichi, 1894-1972) in Tanabe in 1911. [2]
Dait? art-ry? is on the basis of technical affect Aikido. Along with empty hands and with the pitching-locking technique, Ueshiba training combined with the movement of weapons, such as for yari (javelin), jo (short quarterstaff), juken (bayonet), and especially kenjutsu. Aikido practitioners move as’ empty hands swordsmen.
Ueshiba moved to Hokkaid? in 1912, and he began studying under Takeda Sokaku in 1915. His official with the association Dait?-ry? continue until 1937. However, during the final part of the period, Ueshiba has begun distance himself from Takeda and Dait?-ry?. At that time, Ueshiba was referring to the military art as “aiki Bud?.” It is not clear exactly when Ueshiba began using the name “Aikido”, but officially became the name of art in 1942, when Butokukai Dai Nippon (Great Japan Society good decision) has been involved in the reorganization sponsored by the government and military centralization Japanese art. [3]
And the development of political philosophy
After Ueshiba left Hokkaid? in 1919, he met and was profoundly influenced by Onisaburo Deguchi (??????Deguchi ?nisaburo, 1871-1948), the spiritual leader of ?moto-ky? religion (the neo-Shinto movement) in Ayabe. Significantly, one of the main features of ?moto-ky? is the emphasis on the achievement of one’s life for Utopia. This is a major influence on the military philosophy of Ueshiba’s love and compassion, especially for those trying to hurt other people. Aikido This philosophy shows in emphasis to MASTERING arts so that one attack that can receive and redirect it harmlessly. In an ideal resolution, not only is the recipient unharmed, but also the attacker.
In addition to the effects on spiritual growth, connection with the Deguchi has great influence in the Ueshiba to introduce the various political elite and military circles as a military artist. As a result of this relationship he is able to attract not only financial but also talented students in their own right. This is some incoming students to find their own style of Aikido (see infra, Earning).
International distribution of Aikido
Aikido was first brought to the West in 1951 by Minoru Mochizuki (???M?chizuki Minoru, 1907-2003) with visits to France where he introduced Aikido judo techniques to students. He was followed by Tadashi Abe (???Tadashi Abe, 1926-1984) in 1952, which came as representatives of the official Aikikai Honbu, remaining in France for seven years. Kenji Tomiki (????Kenji Tomiki, 1900-1979) toured with the delegation from the various arts through fifteen countries from the Americas in 1953. Next year, Koichi Tohei (????T?hei Koichi, born 1920) was sent by Aikikai Honbu to Hawaii, for a full year, in which he made several dojo. This is supported by several visits and is thus considered the formal introduction of Aikido to the United States. Followed by Great Britain in 1955; Germany and Australia in 1965. Currently, there are many Aikido dojo to train available in the world.
Technical
Aikido training is based mainly on two words not randori. Carmela, the recipient of the technique, usually start an attack against nage (also known as lation or shite depending on the style of Aikido), which neutralises the attack with Aikido techniques.
Some techniques and terminology they Aikikai: [4]
- Ikky?-(first technique) using the control on the one hand, elbow and wrist in a close Carmela apply to the land. The mastery of this also applies pressure to the ulnar nerve in the middle of the arm.
- Niky?-(second technique), which adductive wristlock that torques the arm and apply pressure neuropathy.
- Sanky?-(third technique), which pronating techniques directly to the spiraling-up tension in the whole arm, elbow and shoulder.
- Yonky?-(fourth technique) with a similar shoulder ikky? control (see illustration), but with both hands gripping the forearm. Knuckles (from the palm side) applied to the radial nerve against the periosteum from the bone forearm.
- Goky?-(fifth technique) in the ikky? where hands gripping the wrist is reversed. General and the other in tanto-aways to bring weapons.
- Shih?nage-(four-way throw), which hands folded back past the shoulder, the shoulder joint.
- Kotegaeshi-(re wrist), which supinating wristlock short stretches in Extensor digitorum.
- Koky?nage-(release breath) term for various types of flow “time out”.
- Iriminage-(insert-body cast) who throws in the nage move through the space occupied by Carmela. Classic form superficially resembles a “clothesline” technique.
- Tenchinage-(heaven-and-earth throw) from seizing the second Carmela wrists from the nage. Moving forward, nage sweeps one hand low ( “earth”) and other high ( “heaven”), which unbalances Carmela so she easily topples over.
- Koshinage-(hip throw) Aikido’s version of the hip throw. Nage drops children hips lower than with Carmela, and then flips Carmela fulcrum of the results.
- J?jinage (shaped like-’ten ’short) Continuous that lock arms against each other. (The Kanji for “10″ is a form of cross-.)
- Kaitennage-(rotating cast) nage that sweeps back to lock arms with the shoulder, and then use the pressure to throw forward.
Aikido uses Tai sabaki, or body movement, to be mixed with Carmela. A irimi (entry-body) style technique consists of the inner movement of Carmela, while tenkan (chum) style of using the pivoting motion. [5] A uchi ( “in”) techniques to take place in front of Carmela, while the soto ( “outside”) technical progress to the party; omote techniques applied in the future while juankberna version that applied to use the movement turned away, and the technique can be when done in seiza (sitting). (Seated technique called suwari-waza).
Thus, from less than twenty technical basis, there may be thousands of implementation. For example, ikky? can be applied to the opponent to move ahead with a strike (perhaps one luisfernando waza-type movement to redirect the incoming force), or to an opponent who has been beaten and is now moving back to reestablish the distance (may be a waza-omote version). Aikido the word with a certain formula is usually called “attack-technical (modifier).” For example, katate-dori ikky? refers to any technique ikky? run when Carmela is the one holding the wrist. Continue this can be defined as katate-dori ikky? omote (waza), refers to any move forward-ikky? of techniques that grab.
Atemi
Atemi the attack (or feints) worked for one technique Aikido. Atemi some see as an attack against the “important points” intended to cause damage and of themselves. For example, Gozo Shioda (????Shioda Bogor, 1915-1994) described the use atemi contend with the rapid shift to the bottom of one’s leaders. [6] consider atemi Others, particularly to the face, the method will be confusion, is intended to enable other techniques. An attack, whether it will be blocked, can encourage the concentration of the target and damage the child. The target may also be balanced in trying to avoid the sweep, for example, by jerking the head back, which can be used to cast more easily.
Atemi Many of the sayings associated with Morihei Ueshiba, who considered them an important element of the technique. [7]
Attack
Students will learn the various attacks from an Aikido technique that can be done. Although the attack did not study as carefully as hit-based art, honest attacks (a strong attack or immobilizing grab) needed to learn proper and effective application of the technique.
Attack
The ‘uchi’ attack from Aikido often say resembles a sword grasped from the fighting or other objects, which may be derived from the technique suggest that aimed to combat armed. Kicks are generally reserved on the level of variation: the reason cited, including that the fall is especially dangerous kicks and kicks (high kicks in particular) is rarely plentiful during the type of fight in feudal Japan.
- Sh?men’uchi-(face-face-strike) vertical knife-hand to attack the head.
- Yokomen’uchi-(hand-face-strike) the diagonal knife-hand side of the strike at the head or neck.
- Mune-Tsuki (or ch?dan-Tsuki) – (chest-thrust), which include nails to the torso. Projected including certain breast, stomach, and solar plexus.
- Ganmen-Tsuki (or j?dan-Tsuki) – (face-thrust), which enter the face fern.
Grabs
Especially beginners often practice techniques from grabs, both because they are safer and more because it’s easy to feel the energy and power lines that continue from the walkout. Some grabs historically derived from the detained while trying to draw a weapon; techniques that can be used to free themselves and strike a crippling or seizing people.
The-word (a) prefixed form listed below. The prefix-mAkOy that shows “good” is not; for example, katate-dori (one-hand-grabbing) ry?te a-dori (second-hand-grabbing). (Note: Kanji other,?, also uttered a word, meaning “shoulder”, which can lead to some confusion.) Common variants including Mochi is not dori.
- Katate-dori (single-hand-grabbing) the one hand grabs one wrist.
- Morote-dori (second-hand-grabbing) both hands grab one wrist.
- Ry?te-dori (second-hand-grabbing) both hands grab both wrists. (sometimes called ry?katate-dori)
- Word-dori (shoulder-grabbing) in front of the shoulder. (second-shoulder-grab is ry?kata-dori)
- Mune-dori (breast-grabbing) in the struggle (in clothing) chest.
Ukemi
Ukemi (lit. “receive-body”), is a martial arts techniques for the protection of the term, parries such as safe or fall. First one of the skills taught to students ranging from Aikido is how when thrown to the ground so that no injury. For different types of single-breakfalls possible implementation techniques that can otherwise be prohibitively dangerous. In applying the technique, it is the responsibility of nage to prevent injury to Carmela by the employee with the speed and force application, which is equivalent to their proficiency in a pair ukemi.
Word
Both halves of the technique, which Carmela and the nage, it is important for training Aikido. Both are studying Aikido Mixing and principles of adaptation, adopted a different technique from the side. Nage learn to blend and control energy attack while Carmela learn in a calm and flexible benefits, off-balance in a position where they nage. (This “receive” a technique called ukemi.) Carmela continue to try to return the balance of vulnerability and cover (for example, in addition to the affected), while nage position and use the time to maintain a balance Carmela-off and vulnerable. More advanced training, sometimes Carmela will apply kaeshi-waza ( “inversion technique”) to return to their balance and pin or throw nage.
Randori
One of the features of Aikido is the training for several attackers. Randori, or jiy?waza (to give) is done with several strikers, is an important part and most curriculae needed to level the higher the rank. Randori training a person’s ability to perform intuitively techniques in googling environment. Strategic selection techniques, based on how their students have other strikers, is important in randori training. For example, a ura techniques may be used to neutralise the current into the attacker when the attacker approached from behind.
Shodokan Aikido randori different in the case is not done with some people, defined by the role of defenders and attackers, but between the two participants can be good for the attack, defend and reject the will. In this he resembles judo randori. [8]
Weapons
Aikido training in traditional weapons including wooden jo (short staff), bokken (like wood), and tanto (knife). Currently, some schools now enter a technical-fire. Jo bokken and skills, especially generally practiced under the name aiki-ken, and aiki-jo, respectively. Both weapons-taking and weapons-retention are sometimes taught, to integrate aspects of armed and unarmed. Some schools do not train with the Aikido armed at all while others, such as that called Iwama style Morihiro Saito (????Sait? Morihiro, 1928-2002), usually spend substantial time with bokken, jo, and tanto. Founder developed many empty hands from the traditional Aikido sword and staff so that the practice of the movement in the movement to give the origin and movement techniques, practices and the development of this important basic blocks.
Ranking
Most of the style of Aikido uses Kyu / rank system and the public to bud? Gendai, but the actual requirements for each belt level between the different styles, so they are not necessarily comparable or interchangeable. Some organizations that use color Aikido belt to the level Kyu.
Clothes
Aikid?gi Aikido, which is used in almost the same keikogi used in most other modern art bud?; simple trousers and jacket cover, usually white. Both thick (judo), and thin (Karate) cotton TOPS used. Most systems also add Aikido hakama. Hakama are usually black or indigo, and regulations that are allowed to wear a very varied. In this style for many practitioners and the (black belt) ranks, while the other allows all practitioners or female practitioners to wear hakama regardless of rank.
Ki
Japanese characters for ki, (Qi in Chinese) is a symbolic representation of a cover that covers the pot full of rice. Steam contained in, is ki. The same applies to the ability to control their own ‘power of breath,’ ‘power’, or ‘energy’. Teachers explain ki as originating from Hara, located in the lower abdomen, about two inches in the rear and below the navel. In this teacher training to emphasize that we must remain “centered”.
The exact meaning of ki in Aikido is the debate between the various disciplines and teachers. Ueshiba that appear to have changed from time to time, and style that comes from each of which bears a certain period related signs. For example, Yoshinkan Aikido, which is largely following the teachings of Ueshiba before the war, which is more military in nature, reflecting the younger, more violent, and less “spiritual” man. Shioda Bogor, which analyzes the technique Aikido, decided that the secret to kokyu, or “breathe”, in the use of the time and the application of the whole body strength to a point. [6] As Ueshiba developed and changed views, his teachings at the time that far more was very light, and many of the students and teaching about ki from this perspective.
Body
Physical training goals followed in connection with the Aikido, including relaxation, flexibility, endurance and, with less emphasis on weightlifting-style power. In Aikido techniques, or to extend the movement to encourage far more interesting than the contractor or the movement, and this distinction can be applied to general fitness goals as well.
Some fitness activities, such as weight-lifting, emphasize contractionary power, in which specific muscles or muscle groups are isolated and work to improve the tone, mass, and power. Aikido-related training emphasizes the use of all non-coordinated body movement and balance, more similar to something like yoga or pilates. For example, many classes begin with the dojo and expand breakfalls; warmup is called junbi tais? (????:????????, junbi tais??). [9]
Mind
Aikido is a mental and physical training, emphasizing the ability to relax the mind and body even under the pressure of a dangerous situation. This is necessary to enable the thick-and-blend movement that underlie Aikido techniques, where an attack met with confidence and directness. Morihei Ueshiba once remarked that one “must be prepared to receive 99% of the opponent attacks, and death in the face” for the technique. [1] As a military art that is not only concerned with fighting prowess, but also with a better life from the day-to-day, the mental aspect is an important key to Aikido practitioners.
Fashion
The main styles of Aikido each have honbu dojo in Japan, has a wide international, and was founded by the students directly from Morihei Ueshiba. The existence of the explosion of “independent style” generally listed only ended considered major.

They Korindo Aikido was founded by Minoru Hirai (???Minoru Hirai, 1903-1998) and the Nihon Goshin Aikido was founded by Shodo Morita (Morita Shodo, fl. C.1930s-1962). These schools, with some historical justification, does not suggest the name of Aikido exclusive domain of art that comes from the teachings Morihei Ueshiba.
