Aikido was developed in Japan in the mid-20th century by Morihei Ueshiba from various other Japanese martial arts. His idea was to realize traditional Budo, the "way of the warrior", in a new, contemporary form. For him, the focus was not on the destruction of the attacker, but on controlling the attack and dialogue. Aikido trains body and mind and inspires more and more people today with its precision, effectiveness and beauty.

 
The term Aikido is composed of the three syllables: Ai = harmony, Ki = energy and Do = path and thus describes the central principles of this martial art: A personal path that can enrich your life in energetic and harmonious exchange with others. Or to put it in a very pragmatic way: a concept for the peaceful resolution of conflicts and for more well-being in your life.
