Some of the Most
Efficient Aikido Techniques
Aikido originated as a martial art sometime in the early half of
the 20th century. The martial art was created by Morihei Ueshiba
and it was borne out of his search for a technique that provided
contentment and satisfaction technically and spiritually at the
same time.
The word Aikido derives from the three words Ai, Ki and Do. These
three words mean joining, spirit and way in the same order. What
Aikido is therefore is a way of joining the spirit and body
together in order to find the way or the path.
Different moves of techniques and moves exist in Aikido. The basic
structure of the martial art comes from the throws and locks in
another martial art called Jujitsu and the different movements of
martial artists when they fight with swords as well as spears.
Aikido has many techniques and moves. Its basic structure comes
from the throws and locks found in jujitsu and also from the
movements that experts do when they are fighting with swords and
spears.
These are the basic movements of this martial art.
Ikkyo
The primary technique in Aikido is the Ikkyo; it is a technique
where control is achieved with the use of the hand at a position
near the elbow and another close to the wrist. This sort of grip
also applies pressure to the ulna which is located in the middle
part of the arm.
Nikyo
The Nikyo is the second Aikido technique. It is characterized by a
wristlock that twists your arm and applies painful pressure to the
nerve located there as well.
Sankyo
The third technique of Aikido uses what is known as a pronating
move. What this sort of move does is that it directs upward
tension all the way through the arm, elbow and the shoulder.
Yonkyo
This fourth of all the Aikido basic movements uses a shoulder
based control movement similar to Ikkyo but without gripping the
forearm. The knuckles instead apply pressure on the radial nerve.
Gokyo
This fifth technique is a variant of the Ikkyo technique. When the
wrist is gripped here it is then inverted and twisted for maximum
effect.
Aikido protective moves
These are some of the moves that can be used to disable your
opponent.
Kotogaeshi – In English this is known as a wrist return. This move
uses the wristlock as a beginning move and stretches it up for a
throw using the extensor digitorum.
Iriminage – This move is known as the entering body throw. The
practitioner who is called the Nage can then move into the space
where the Uke or opponent is. This move is also similar to the
clothesline technique.
Shihonage- this is the four-direction throw, wherein the hand is
folded back past the shoulders and then afterwards locking the
joints in the shoulder
Kaitennage- called the rotation throw, in Kaitennage, the
practitioner or the nage will move the arm backwards until the
shoulder joints are locked. He will then use this position to add
pressure.
Jujinage- this is the throw that is characterized by a throw that
locks the arms together. This is called shape like a 10 throw
because of its cross-shape, which looks like 10 in kanji.
Kokyunage – This is known as the breath throws and it refers to
various sets of timing throws used to handle combatants.
Koshinage – This move is Aikido versions of the hip throw where a
person simply drops his hips a little lower than the Uke or his
opponent. He will use the fulcrum to then flip his opponent.
Tenchinage – This is termed the heaven and earth throw because the
hands are kept at different levels in order to execute the throw.
The practitioner can then grab both wrists and use the forward
movement to grab the persons hand low and the other hand high.
This move will then unbalance the Uke which then forces him to
topple over.
