The Word AIKIDO is made up of AI - Harmony, KI - the spirit and DO - the way. The KI spirit in Japanese is in the individual and is regarded as the guiding force of the universe. Aikido was developed as an aid to personal advancement and teaches the understanding and development of KI to promote relaxation and overall perception within and outside the body, that will hopefully flow into everyday life and not only in Aikido practice.
