Aikido, modern Japanese martial art that uses a system of holds, throws, and locks as its principal movements. The name comes from the Japanese words ai (union, harmony); ki (vital breath, energy); do (way). Although many of the moves of aikido resemble the disarming techniques and throws of jujutsu and judo, the art focuses on controlling ones ki, or vital energy within the body that is centered in the abdominal region, in order to subdue an opponent. Aikido advocates self-defense, placing emphasis on nerve points that, when pressed, can bring down an adversary without risk of maiming or killing.
The American martial arts actor Steven Seagal has popularized a more combative style of aikido in his motion pictures Above the Law (1988) and Hard to Kill (1990).
