	About Aikido
		Aikido is sometimes held up for comparison to other martial arts, and aikido students are frequently curious about how well a person trained in aikido would stand up against someone of comparable size and strength who has trained in another martial art such as karate, judo, ju jutsu, or boxing.
		Aikido may be ill-suited to conflicts involving deliberate provocation of an adversary to fight.
		Aikido requires a sensitivity to such diverse variables as timing, momentum, balance, the speed and power of an attack, and especially to the psychological state of one's partner (or of an attacker).

	Aikido Seikikai Jodo2 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It is often said that the use of the sword is the basis of all of the techniques of Aikido.
		Aikido, as it is practiced today, makes reference to the sword but it is rarely used in Aikido classes.
		The fact that one is handling a real sword (a sharp one at that) can lend a sense of reality to the practice of Aikido lacking in the average dojo.

	Aikido
		Aikido is considered an “internal” martial art because learning Aikido techniques help you to deal with your own aggressive tendencies and teaches you to relax and be calm in order to be able to receive and redirect aggressive movement and stabilize it in a harmonious resolution.
		Aikido is the newest of the traditional Asian martial arts, holds the most modern outlook, and is proud of its high ideals.
		Aikido, as Ueshiba conceived it in his mature years, is not primarily a system of combat, but rather a means of self-cultivation and improvement.

	AIKIDO - The Peaceful Martial Art - Stefan Stenudd (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Aikido, as well as the whole world around us - the ten thousand things, as the Chinese put it - would be better understood as art.
		In the case of aikido it might be more proper to talk about the rice paper and the ink - also relating more accurately to the dress code: the white keikogi and the fl hakama.
		There are some very complex systems of sword exercises in aikido, often demanding a high strain on one's memory at the cost of properly exercising the sword technique fundamentals.

	Aikido Seikikai Aikido
		Aikido's sharpness of body movement comes from the art of the Japanese sword, and it's flexibility and smoothness comes from the art of the Jo.
		When you enter, and periodically during your pursuit of Aikido, you will have the opportunity to consult with the instructors regarding your personal progress and how to achieve the most from your training.
		It seems obvious, but if the head of the school does not ultimately trace his Aikido back to OSensei (Morihei Ueshiba), it may look like Aikido, but it is not Aikido.

	The Aikido FAQ: Introduction To Aikido
		Aikido focuses not on punching or kicking opponents, but rather on using their own energy to gain control of them or to throw them away from you.
		This style is one of the softest styles of Aikido and is characterized by soft movements that often involve the practitioner jumping or skipping during the movement.
		Most Aikido training, even in schools with competitions, is of a cooperative rather than antagonistic nature, with both thrower (nage) and throwee (uke) working as partners and trying to optimize the experience of the other.

	History of Aikido
		While Aikido may be relatively new to North America and generally unknown by most of the population, its roots and traditions are very old; much older than many martial arts forms.
		Particularly after the decline of the samurai class, the martial "techniques" became martial "ways", and a great emphasis was placed upon the study of Budo as a means of generating the moral strength necessary to build a strong and vital society.
		At that time, Aikido was known by many names, and remained an exclusively samurai practice handed down within the Takeda family until Japan emerged from isolation in the Meiji period.
