explanation: Issuing from old Japanese fighting techniques without weapon like Judo, Aikido is a synthesis of the parts left by Judo like defense techniques and spiritual teaching. The modern Aikido was created by Ueshiba Morihei (1883969) at the end of Taisho era. It is not only popular in Japan but abroad especially among women who need to fight against aggressions.
