AIKIBUDO is a Japanese term used to describe a family of Japanese martial arts that trace their origin back to the Meiji-period of 1868 through 1912. Each of these fighting arts present techniques and strategies rooted in the principles of "Aiki". What is Aikibudo the Fighting Art? Aiki, when properly understood is essentially --- the application of mental, physical and physiological principles that give an individual the ability to harmonize, fit in with a given energy and thereby reconcile it. Aikibudo does not resist the energy of an incoming attacker but rather transform it, change or redirect energy to the extent that the power of an enemy is dissolved, reconciled or made into nothing.
