Answer 1

think you mean Aikido right?

Aikido is a Japanese Martial Art that originated from Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu, it was developed by Morihei Ueshiba between the 1920s and the 1960s. It contains a very significant spiritual component which is the result of Ueshiba's interaction with the Oomoto-kyo religion, as well as Shinto and Buddhism.

Ai means union or harmony, Ki means universal energy/spirit, and Do means the way so to interpret it is 'the way to union with universal energy' or 'the way of unified energy'

O-sensei as he is known to many students and practitioners developed it out of three enluightenments that led him away from his previous Martial training towards a "spirit of peace". Ueshiba ultimately saying that the way of the warrior is the "way of divine love that nurtures and protects all things"

But the strongest influence is that of kenjutsu (and this has been the subject of much debate) and in many ways, an aikido practitioner moves as an empty handed swordsman. The aikido strikes shomenuchi and yokomenuchi originated from weapon attacks, and resultant techniques likewise from weapon disarms.

it was then brought to the West in 1951 by Minoru Mochizuki while visiting France where he introduced aikido techniques to judoka. He was followed by Tadashi Abe in 1952 who came as the official Aikikai Honbu representative, remaining in France for seven years. Kenji Tomiki toured with a delegation of various martial arts through fifteen continental states of the United States in 1953. Subsequently, in the same year, Koichi Tohei was sent by Aikikai Honbu for a full year to Hawaii setting up several dojo. This was backed up by several further visits and is considered the formal introduction of aikido to the United States. The United Kingdom followed in 1955, Germany and Australia in 1965 thereafter. Today there are many aikido dojos available to train at throughout the world.

Aikido training is for all-around physical fitness, flexibility, and relaxation. The human body in general can exert power in two ways: contractive and expansive. Many fitness activities, for example weight-lifting, emphasizes this, which means that specific muscles or muscle groups are isolated and worked to improve tone, mass, and power. The disadvantage however, is that whole body movement and coordination are rarely stressed.

The second type of power, expansive, is stressed by activities like dance or gymnastics. In these activities, the body must learn to move with coordination and relaxation. Aikido also stresses this sort of training. While both types of power are important, it is interesting to note that an individual who masters the second type of power can, in a martial context, often overcome a person who is bigger or stronger.

the clothing is simple:The aikidogi used in aikido is similar to the keikogi used in most other modern budo arts; simple trousers and a wraparound jacket, usually white.

To the keikogi, some systems add the traditional hakama. The hakama is usually black or dark blue and in most dojo is reserved for practitioners with dan (black belt) ranks.

Although some systems use many belt colors similar to the system in judo, the most common is dan ranks wear black belt, and kyu ranks white - sometimes with an additional brown belt for the highest kyu ranks.

this Martal Art has found it's way into other disciplines as well such as the Korean Martial Art of Hapkido which uses many of the same principles and is likewise based around those principles.
