Aikido

Since 2004. Korea Aikido Association.

Never meet force with force

Aikido (合氣道) is a martial art founded in the 1920s by Morihei Ueshiba (1883–1969), after years of study in the jujutsu and swordsmanship of many schools. An oncoming force is not blocked but received, and sent back along its own course.

Even the one who attacks you is not to be harmed. That is why there are no competitions to rank one person above another.

Reaching first dan usually takes more than 400 days of training and an examination that shows the struggle with oneself. At first dan, one puts on the black belt and hakama.

Forms unchanged for six hundred years

Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto-ryu (天真正伝香取神道流) was founded around 1447 by Iizasa Choisai Ienao. It is said to have been revealed to him after a thousand days of prayer at Katori Shrine.

The school covers the sword and iai, the staff, the spear and the naginata, and keeps the movements of the battlefield, aimed at the gaps in armor, exactly as they were in the forms. In 1960 Chiba Prefecture designated it an Intangible Cultural Property.

It takes three to five years to receive the mokuroku (目録), and another five to seven to receive the teaching license. This is a path of lifelong study under one teacher, so please consider carefully before you enter.

Mokuroku (目録)
