Even standing with my back toward the opponent is enough. When he attacks, hitting, he will injure himself with his own intention to hit. I am one with the Universe and I am nothing else. When I stand, he will be drawn to me. There is no time and space before Ueshiba of Aikido -only the Universe as it is.
Morihei Ueshiba

 AIKIDO is an authentic Japanese martial art, a modern Budo that is also a subtle system of personal development. Aikido comprises physical and spiritual dimensions and was founded by Morihei Ueshiba after he had mastered many traditional arts and engaged in profound spiritual training.
