 ikido
is a martial art of self defense in which the practitioner connects
with the attacker and uses the aggressor's energy to throw him or
her. Aikido is based on circular movement and emphasizes maintaining
one's physical and emotional center. Practice centers on fluid,
spiraling movements that allow blending with and subduing the
attacker with a minimum of effort.
Unlike some related martial arts such as Judo,
Tae Kwon Do,
Karate, or Tai Chi, Aikido is routinely practiced with full physical
contact.
