Aikido
San Francisco, CA 94103 Directions
Aikido, a traditional Japanese martial art, was developed in the early part of this century by Morihei Ueshiba O-Sensei (1883-1969). The famous motto of O-Sensei, “Masakatsu Agatsu,” contains the essence of Aikido: “True victory is victory over the self.” Aikido is truly budo — a martial Way — rather than simply a bujutsu (“martial technique”) or bugei (“martial art”). When martial training is undertaken not simply as a means to conquer others, but as a means to refine and perfect the self, this can be said to be budo.
