Aikido of South Florida

About Aikido of South Florida

Morihei Ueshiba was a master martial artist and a devout follower of the Omoto Kyo Religion. He was born in Western Japan in 1883 and passed away in 1969. Ueshiba had an exceptional level of spiritual awareness and studied several classical styles of Enjin Shin Yo-Ryu Jujutsu, Goto-Ha YagyuShingan-Ryu, and Daito-Ryu Jujutsu. His passion for self-defense inspired him to create Aikido, an art that maximizes protection with minimal force. Aikido training consists of two partners practicing pre-arranged forms. The receiver initiates an attack and the person applying the technique, the tori or shite, neutralizes the attack using an aikido technique. This technique is based on the idea that the least amount of force is used to protect oneself. Aikido is a martial art where one can achieve maximum defense with minimal effort.
