Aikido, My Point of View...

Aikido is a Japanese Martial Art, founded by O'sensei Morihei Ueshiba. He learned ancient Jujutso from Sokaku Takeda. Sokaku's techniques is fierce and devastating. After met his Spiritual Teacher, Morihei changed his techniques and become Aikido.

Aikido as martial art based it's techniques on Harmony with the universal. The Spirit of Love is needed in apllying techniques of Aikido. (Martial Art with Love spirit.... :))

Based on Book : Ki in Daily Life, written by Kochi Tohei, there are 4(four) basic principles of Aikido:

1. Keep One Point
2. Completely Relax
3. Keep Weight underside
4. Extend Ki

In practice, many practitioners of Aikido have not yet understand about these four principles.
Many of them still use their muscle power to aplly Aikido techniques rather than try to blend with opponents.

Is it hard to learn Aikido....?
Being sceptical maybe can help in learning Aikido.....

I hope it useful.....
Allahu'alam Bishshowab...
