Daito-ryu Aiki Jujutsu is a traditional Japanese martial art which is said to be about one thousand years old. However, it was only opened to the public for the first time by Takeda Sokaku (1860-1943) one hundred years ago. All the people who had the opportunity to witness Sokaku Sensei's techniques were struck with wonder at his high level of skill. All types of jujutsu martial arts utilise the opponent's power. Sokaku Sensei's art was the same in this respect, except that in addition to ju, Sokaku Sensei utilised an additional power. He called it Aiki.

kido is a relatively new martial art developed in Japan in the early 20th century. Translated, aikido means "The Way of Harmony" (aiki - harmony, do - principle, or Way of life). The founder of this "gentle" martial art was Morihei Ueshiba known to Aikidoka (aikido student) as O'Sensei. Aikido techniques require years to fully master and depend on perfect timing, coordination, balance and an almost supernatuaral sense of the opponent's balance.
