What is Aikido?
In essence, Aikido is a modern expression of the Japanese martial arts. It is orthodox in that it inherits the martial and spiritual tradition of ancient Japan, first recorded in the literary and historical works of the 8th century, the Kojiki (“Records of Ancient Matters”) and the Nihongi (“Chronicles of Japan”).
The Founder of Aikido, Master Morihei Ueshiba, was born on December 14, 1883, in Tanabe, Kii Province.
