Aiki: An Education for the Peaceful Heart
Abstract
Although aikido is practiced in many countries, it is still unknown to the general public. Instructors have been teaching it as a new martial art ignoring its profound objective: it was designed to promote peace and human sensitivity based on a body work that teaches how to handle violence in order to achieve human success in life. Ai means “adaptation” and ki is the name given to the vital energy of people. When this energy is combined among people, it gives way to aiki – the conjunction of peoples' energy in accordance to their human nature. The practice of aikido movements systematically educates for a peaceful heart that benefits society. So, this chapter presents its educational dimension and social possibilities which may interest educators, physical instructors, orientators, and even practitioners. Aikido is a transcendental activity designed to reconstruct human ethics and human interaction by teaching people how to collaborate and achieve their non-violent human potential, a peaceful heart which is their most important competence for life.
