    As we mentioned earlier, Aikido is a self-defense based martial art, rather than an attack based martial art. One of the Aikido techniques that can be used in self defense is the Ikkyo.

    Ikkyo is one of the Aikido techniques that is used in self defense. In this case, it is used when the attacker grabs your lapel or your shirt. By sweeping the arm that the attacker is using to hold you, you will disarm the attacker and his grasp upon you. Then afterwards, you move in and overpower the attacker by controlling this same arm to your advantage to take the attacker down.

    Aikido is a martial art that originated in Japan. Its founder was Morihei Ueshiba, who incorporated his philosophy and religious beliefs with his martial arts studies. Aikido translates into “the way of unifying with life energy.” Many times Aikido is seen as the peaceful martial art since it was developed with the intent of defending oneself without causing injury to the attacker. This martial art is at its core one of self defense. Therefore practitioners must pay much detail to the techniques that are used in Aikido.

    Aikido is considered to be the way of harmony. using its techniques, one uses the force of the attacker and diverts the force in a manner that it can be used against the attacker in order to subdue him. This is in contrast to most martial arts in which one meets the attack straight on.
