Origin
Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art developed in the first half of the 20th century by
Morihei Ueshiba, to whom practitioners refer as O-Sensei or Great Teacher. It is the synthesis of his martial studies, philosophy, and spiritual beliefs. While Aikido has its roots in several older, long-established Japanese martial arts, especially sword and spear, jujutsu and judo, the art is ever evolving.
