Aikido - Technique: Encyclopedia II - Aikido - Technique

Aikido incorporates a wide range of techniques which use principles of energy and motion to redirect, neutralise and control attackers.

Another tenet of aikido is that the aikidoka should gain control of their opponent as quickly as possible, while causing the least amount of damage possible to either party.

Aikido - Technique: Encyclopedia - Ukemi

Ukemi, or "receiving the throw/attack," is the art of knowing how to land or fall and recover correctly from a martial arts technique with minimal impact.
