Aikido is a martial art where not only technique is important. ikido was established relatively recently, and elements of earlier Japanese martial arts can be recognized in it. Morihei Ueshiba combined knowledge of various Japanese martial arts and created aikido. M. Ueshiba was not only a great craftsman, but also interested in human psychology and the meaning of life. He left many notes that we can read to better understand the philosophy of Aikido. The articles try to reveal that this martial art has a deeper meaning than just trying to master the techniques.‍‍
