I've recently become interested in aikido, a relatively new and young Japanese martial art founded by Morihei Ueshiba in the 1900's, popularly called as "O-sensei" by aikido practicioners (kistonedojo.com, 2006).
Aikido was founded through the vision of budo that bring harmony and unity within people and the society. Aikido was the creation of Morihei Uyeshiba, combining various martial arts together to form what is now known as aikido.
Its fast, precise, clean and somewhat graceful manipulation of opponent's movements that defeats them with minimal force.
Although aikido is very interesting and seems to be very effective, no one can really say one style of martial art is better than the other, they way I see it is that all martial arts come from one source of origin and it all links back together.
Martial Artists really needs to combine all kinds of martial arts together to perfect it.
