History Of Doshu Moriteru Ueshiba

合気道は開祖植芝盛平翁が厳しい武術の修業と精神修養の中から創始し、吉祥丸二代道主がその素晴らしさの普及振興に心血を注がれ、世界へと門戸が開かれました。
昭和6年に現在の本部道場が創設されてから82年が経ち、現在、合気道は欧米は勿論のこと、東欧、南米、中南米、東南アジアなどまで国内外130カ国へと広く普及してまいりました。平成24年度より公益財団法人として新たな船出もいたしました。
開祖植芝盛平翁は勝つことを至上目的とする闘争技術としての武術に対し疑問を抱くようになり、「万有愛護」の道として合気道を開きました。
「『闘争のための技術』から『和合のための武道』として、いたずらに力に頼り他人と強弱勝敗を相争うこと以上に人と和する事が大切である。愛は全て気によるもので『円の動き』『入り身』『動中静』『中心』が基になり、相互に技を錬磨するものであり、そこに対立は存在しない。合気道とは『絶対的な自己完成への道』なのです」と説かれています。

開祖の創始された合気道の技法と哲理の素晴らしさは勿論ですが、その合気道を創始するにあたり援助を惜しまなかった父・与六、合気道を正しく後世に伝える為の先達の先見の明、吉祥丸二代道主が開祖の意を汲み合気道の普及振興に心血を注ぎ、その流れを三代目である私が大切に繋いでいる事、これまで多くの方々のお力添えをいただけた事が今日の大きな輪を作りあげている要因だと思います。
今後も開祖の精神である「和合の精神」を大切に、国・人種・宗教の壁をなくし、このすばらしい合気道を一人でも多くの方々にご理解いただけるよう努力してまいる所存です。そして、合気道を通じ、少しでも社会に貢献できる事を願っております。

The Founder, Morihei Ueshiba, through intensive Martial Arts training and strict cultivation of mind, created Aikido. Kisshomaru 2nd Doshu devoted himselfl to promote Aikido’s great value and to open the doors to the world.
It has been 82 years since the current Hombu Dojo was found in 1931. Aikido has been spread to 130 countries: North, Central and South America; Western and Eastern Europe; and Southeast Asia.
In 2012, the Aikikai Foundation embarked on the new phase as a Public Interest Incorporated Foundation.
The Founder, Morihei Ueshiba, created Aikido as a way to “banyu-aigo (love for all things in nature)”, after having a sense of doubt for Martial Arts which are for developing fighting skill with the ultimate goal being to win.

The Founder said it was more important to harmonize with people than to win by depending on power. Switching from ‘skills of fighting’ to ‘harmony’ is the purpose of training. Love is all “Ki (life energy)” based on “En No Ugoki (circle movement)”, “Irimi (entering)”, “DoChuSei (quietness in turmoil)” and “Chushin (immovable center)” to train our skills with each other. There is no conflict in this training. Aikido is “a way to absolute self-accomplishment”.
It goes without saying that the fabulousness of Aikido techniques and philosophical principles created by the Founder is widely acknowledged. For such accomplishment, unsparing support of the Founder’s father (Yoroku Ueshiba), the foresights by seniors who passed Aikido down correctly to the next generations, Kisshomaru 2nd Doshu’s devotion to further propagation of Aikido based on the Founder’s teaching were necessary. For myself, I have been following their paths with many people’s support. I believe that all these made a larger and greater Aikido circle today.
I will continue to strive and to cherish the spirit of harmony, eliminating the walls of country, race and religion, to make an effort to have this great Aikido appreciated by a great number of people. Also, I hope I will contribute to the society as much as possible through Aikido.
