Answer
Aikido's distinctive gentle techniques emerged from a profound spiritual experience of its founder, Morihei Ueshiba. This transformative moment led Ueshiba to seek a martial art that emphasized harmony, non-resistance, and the redirection of an opponent's energy rather than brute force. This shift in perspective became the cornerstone of aikido's unique approach, prioritizing techniques that control and neutralize an attacker without causing unnecessary harm.
