To define aikido and to explain it prove to be at the very least a difficult task, for it is a complex martial art which combines simultaneously technical principles as a spiritual dimension which is the principal foundation.

The kanji " ai " represents at the same time the concept of union, of harmony, the " ki ", that, of vital energy, the energy of the universe and " do ", that of spiritual way, this last kanji being associated with several other martial arts.
