What does AIKIDO mean in Scrabble?
noun
A Japanese martial art in which a defender redirects the force of an attacker through throws, holds and joint locks.
Aikido was developed in the early twentieth century by Morihei Ueshiba, who wanted a discipline that could end a fight without hurting the attacker. Students learn to blend with an incoming push or grab and turn it aside, rather than meeting it head on. Practice is usually done in pairs, wearing a loose white jacket and wide dark trousers. The name is often explained as "the way of harmonizing energy".
