Aikido
Morihei Ueshiba
Morihei Ueshiba founded Aikido by transforming Daitō-ryū-derived technique through decades of teaching, religious thought, and institutional change.
Takeda Sōkaku
Takeda Sōkaku was the central documented transmitter of modern Daitō-ryū and the teacher who decisively shaped Morihei Ueshiba’s martial development.
Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu
Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu is the martial tradition publicly transmitted by Takeda Sōkaku and a major technical source for Morihei Ueshiba’s Aikido.
Aikido
Aikido is Morihei Ueshiba’s modern Japanese budō, historically rooted in Daitō-ryū yet institutionally and philosophically distinct from aiki-jūjutsu.
