Aikido is a martial art which was made from the creator Morihei Ueshiba.This man spent his years in training and he learnt many martial arts but he wanted to make his own one.After many studies and many mathimatic exercises he made a martial art that was different from others, a martial art that can show you that from pain you can produce love and as he said:Pain is a way to love your oponnent.He always told that we must not use aikido to kill or to pain anyone but we will use it only in very difficult situations, situations that you will not have any other choices and you will have to fight.Aikido is the expansion of Judo and that was the reason that the Samurai stopped learning Judo and they begun to learn aikido.Aikido is not a very popular martial art due to his own creator because many men wanted to add this art to the olympic games but he denied. In aikido you learn to use your body like a rope. You must be strong like a rock and quick like a car. You also have to have resillence too.Aikido teaches you how to use the famous sword Katana and how to use a jo(spear).But the basic topic of this art and the most important is the body.With your body and with just a quick move you can break your opponent’s arms, or his legs or his body.
As in every martial art in Aikido you have to buy your own equipment and look after it. As a b- egginner you buy a bokken, a jo, and a Katana just for your trainning.In Aikido there are some traditions like in every martial art. But you are not obliged to follow it.If you try Aikido you will see how much magical is this martial art. Steven seagal agrees by telling that he hasnt seen anythng so magical like this art.After many years you will see that Aikido is a piece of your life and that you can not dispose it from yourself.
