Ueshiba&#8217;s goal was to create an art that practitioners could use to defend themselves while also protecting their attackers from injury. The ultimate intention is to disarm opponents through applying accurate timing and techniques to your opponent, leading to a single conclusion where your opponent is guided into constrained pins, locks or unstable angles. Ideally, this can be achieved free of tension and aggression. For this reason, Aikido is often translated as &#8220;the way of unifying (with) life energy&#8221; or as &#8220;the way of harmonious spirit&#8221;.<\/p><p>Today, aikido is found all over the world in a number of styles, with broad ranges of interpretation and emphasis. However, they all share techniques formulated by O\u2019sensei and most have concern for the well-being of the attacker. The application of Aikido, as O&#8217;sensei taught it, can be easily and effectively applied to protect against bigger and stronger attackers in a non-confrontational way by physically blending with attacker&#8217;s movement and energy. It is suitable for anyone seeking to gain self-confidence, mind and body awareness, martial superiority, self-control, improved fitness, and to meet people and make new friends. It is ideal for both male and female, young and old.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d159cce elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d159cce\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-af895d4\" data-id=\"af895d4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-052b6f8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"052b6f8\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e5fe8e8\" data-id=\"e5fe8e8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-896f8e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"896f8e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b8d827 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9b8d827\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"443\" height=\"219\" src=\"https:\/\/aikido-buikukai.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Morihei_Ueshiba114.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aikido-buikukai.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Morihei_Ueshiba114.jpg 443w, https:\/\/aikido-buikukai.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Morihei_Ueshiba114-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aikido-buikukai.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Morihei_Ueshiba114-230x114.jpg 230w, https:\/\/aikido-buikukai.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Morihei_Ueshiba114-350x173.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c6be4f elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"1c6be4f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba (O\u2019sensei) [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/page_front-page.php","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aikido-buikukai.co.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/57"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aikido-buikukai.co.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aikido-buikukai.co.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aikido-buikukai.co.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aikido-buikukai.co.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57"}],"version-history":[{"count":25,"href":"https:\/\/aikido-buikukai.co.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/57\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":175,"href":"https:\/\/aikido-buikukai.co.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/57\/revisions\/175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aikido-buikukai.co.nz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
