In this article I want to touch on areas of diversity of Aikido. Few people who have decided to do Aikido, is looking for any particular style. It’s no wonder – who will understand them? Especially because the names of these styles, most cases, to the untrained ear does not represent a greater value than any other meaningless set of letters. You can try to translate these names and if they are not derived from the names of people who founded them, then at least know what they mean. However, one name, even clear, in the understanding of the style will not work.
Plays a significant role as the number of these areas, and the fact that the two schools in one direction may differ significantly from each other, and two schools in different directions will do the same. And each of the representatives of different styles, will say that his style – the best and the rest at all sad fuckers. So most people are doing all the logical – choose a school closer to home. Someone lucky and he soon finds that he was looking for, but some do not and it is a long time can not make the final choice. I will not even try to compare different styles, bring their positive and negative traits and to describe what people are doing. To give you even name transfer will not. Just try to have its own viewpoint to describe the whole picture. Founder of Aikido Morihei Ueshiba once said the phrase: “Aikido has to be multifaceted ‘…
And he knew! And now discuss the foundation of Aikido Ueshiba. Somehow, all the techniques and principles he founded art existed long before he was born. Do not sit at home and he came up with Aikido. For information on how it came to light, you can find in any book on Aikido, and can in this humble site. He systematized the existing elements to reflect the resulting system of his understanding of these elements. I would even venture to say that Aikido – a style of Aiki Daito Ryu Ju Jutsu, which Ueshiba studied with Sokkaku Takeda. Any person engaged in martial arts prevnosit his understanding of them, a piece of his soul. At the output we have a unique Interpretation of a martial art. How many people practicing Aikido, and so many different Interpretation, not to mention the fact that the views of people with time, may undergo significant changes, and following them is changing, and his art. Many students Morihei Ueshiba, he engaged in various periods of his life caught completely different facets of one of Aikido. A opening their own schools and styles of their calling other names, they have continued to change Aikido, each according to his views. A lot of trainers in each style as it prevnosyat particles themselves, without changing names. How many people, so many styles. A Aikido – it is one and the same everywhere. Technical and fundamental differences between the directions of Aikido virtually none. Something mutated, something abolished on something a little more emphasis. The main difference – in teaching methodology, and here it the taste and color … You just go and try and the more the better. And so it goes that hundreds of people poured wine from one barrel and each claims that it tastes better. Listen have all, and must choose what prompts the heart.
