Created by UESHIBA Morihei (14/12/1883 - 26/04/1969), the purpose of Aikido is to develop the harmony between partners, and by extension with the Universe. Long after years
of studies of various martial arts, the meeting with the Reverend DEGUSHI Onisaburo directed Master UESHIBA's research towards a more esoteric way which ended in the creation Aikido. |

************************************** |
||
“Aikido is composed of techniques which express the nature of the universe through the human body. |
||
In the same way that the universe varies in spring, in summer, with the autumn and in winter, certain techniques in aikido have the softness of the breezes of spring, others the rigour
of frozen of autumn.” |
