AIKIDO-GIYOSHIN

Aikido is a Japanese martial art that is part of the modern Budo. It has developed techniques from the Bujutsu, which were used in Japan until the 18th century. Aikido is not a competitive martial art. It uses two methods: Randori (free training) and Kata (forms), which are applied simultaneously. The training focuses on the coordination of movement, body, and breathing. Shodo, on the other hand, is the Japanese art of calligraphy, which is also a part of the Budo. It is a philosophy for the spirit and body, and it is not just a beautiful way of writing.
