NORFOLK AND NORWICH SHIN-GI-TAI YODOKAN DOJOAikido and Budo Japanese Martial Arts School in Norwich + and East Anglia areaLatest News![]() Martial Arts: Who created aikido? Aikido was created by Morihei Ueshiba, a Japanese martial artist and founder of the Aikido school, in the early 20th century. Ueshiba studied many martial arts, including swordsmanship, spear fighting, and jujutsu, and combined them all into Aikido. His goal was to develop a martial arts form that would allow a defender to neutralize an attack without causing harm to the attacker. Aikido is a non-aggressive form of self-defense that is based on the principles of harmony and peaceful resolution. Why do people go along with and promote fake martial artists?

The British Aikido Board (BAB) - The umbrella organisation for Aikido in the UK We are now members of Aiki ExtensionsFor many years now at Seminaries, teaching at different Dojos and Where I teach and train in Norwich, I have always stated that "Aikido is much more than techniques". In the modern times of Martial Arts Students and even so called Instructors seem to only talk and teach about Techniques. It has always been my belief that the way of Aiki (Do) the way or way and Aiki (Harmony of Ki) losely translated, should be applied to dailly life. On and off of the Mat.
