Aikido is a Martial Art of self-defense that is based on non-resistance rather than strength. An attack is never stopped; it is met and guided in a way that causes the attacker to be thrown by the directional force of his own attack. Aikido also employs a number of joint locking techniques. Although these techniques are extremely effective and can drive an aggressor to the ground immediately, they are not designed to break bones or cause injury.
