    Aikido Kimono

    Aikido Kimono

    Spiritual discipline and self-defense method that uses grappling, throws, and nonresistance to debilitate opponents. The name aikido combines three Japanese words: ai (union or harmony), ki (breath, spirit or life force), and do (way). Proponents translate aikido as the way of unifying ki or the way of harmony with the spirit of the universe (or universal energy). Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969), a Japanese farmer and master martial artist, founded aikido sometime between 1922 and 1931, after a divine revelation. Ueshiba claimed supernatural power. (His surname is also spelled Oyeshiba and Uyeshiba.) Practitioners may be called aikidoists.
