Characters for "Aikido"

The word "aikido" is made up of three Japanese characters: AI - harmony, KI - spirit, mind, or universal energy, DO - the Way. It can be thought of as "The Way of Harmony with Universal Energy"

Aikdo glossaries

I've tried to define aikido terms on first use. For those needing a glossary of terms, the following links may get you started:

Aikido glossary of Indiana University, with some nice illustrations.
A fairly comprehensive glossary.
Lots of terms and ideas are defined and discussed in Wikipedia's aikido entry. Major concepts often have their own entry as well. It's worth searching!
