Aikido Movements and Techniques Aikido movements emphasize flexibility and balance. The aim of the Aikidoka is to be in complete control of their mind and body and to maintain a calm, alert posture. The continuous and flexible motion which originates at the hips is like the performance of a dance - a graceful, spherical motion. The beauty of Aikido movements comes from the coordinated motion of the entire body - each part contributing to the integrated sequence of the movement. The joint locking techniques, such as those applied to the wrist or elbow, flex the joints in the direction of natural bending. They are in harmony with the natural flexing and, although such techniques are painful and effective, they result in no permanent damage to the joint. (Admin - UKL)
