A Japanese martial art, developed by Morihei Ueshiba, that can be used for self defence while also protecting the attacker from injury.

The word "aikido" is formed of three kanji characters:

AI - join, unite; KI - energy; DO - way, path.

You come together and acknowledge your attacker, you blend with his energy, and you redirect it, sending him on his way.
