Aikido The Heavenly Road Description

Aikido techniques, originally based on ancient Jujutsu, are exceedingly effective for actual combat. So dangerous are the techniques that no competition system has been adopted for Aikido, and traditionally it has been taught through the method of form repetition. Aikido techniques principally use empty-handed movements, without any weapons. Composed primarily of Nage (throwing), Kime (blocking), and Osae (pinning and controlling) techniques, Aikido is executed with breathing power and joint manipulation, as well as by calculating the proper Ma-ai (distance between one and the other) and by using the opponent's force and physical weak points to one's own advantage.
Aikido techniques are often executed with circular movements accompanied by a body twist, as well as upward or downward bending-stretching motions, to dodge an opponent's attack. The techniques include both centrifugal and centripetal movements, although the former are more common.
Since training in these techniques involves muscular stretching and contraction, these techniques help to improve blood circulation and internal organ function. Repeated training of joint techniques helps the body become more supple and resilient, keeping the back from becoming stiff or weak. For this reason Aikido is recognised as extraordinarily efficacious in improving health and in preventing geriatric weakness.
