Aikido is now practiced in around 140 countries. It was originally developed by Morihei Ueshiba, as a synthesis of his martial studies, philosophy and religious beliefs.

Aikido is often translated as "the way of unifying (with) Qi, life energy" or as "the way of harmonious spirit".

picture info	Suburitō A is a type of ''bokken'', a wooden practice sword originating in Japan and used in Japanese martial arts. ''Suburi'' (素振り; literally, "basic or plain swing") means "practice swing"; a ''suburitō'' is therefore used to practice sword-swinging. Description and use The suburitō is much thicker at the blade than the handle which makes the suburitō much heavier than a normal bokken. Suburitō are used for practicing '' suburi'' (sword swinging exercises) and ''kata'' (prearranged exercises). The weight of the suburitō is used for strengthening and conditioning in addition to development of spirit. The suburitō is used to perfect individual technique as well. A ''suburitō'' is commonly around 115 cm (45 in) in length, with a mass of 1 kg (2.2 lb). However, these bokuto can vary widely in size and weight. Suburitō generally do not include a guard.
