Aikido (Dominus Exxet):[]
The martial art known as Aikido is an ancient combat system invented in the outskirts of Kuon Teikoku. According to certain oriental tales, its birth was due to the inability of men to deal with inhumanly strong creatures. In response to that problem, several masters developed a style that allowed a practitioner to take advantage of an opponent’s strength and use it in his own favor. Akin to this legend, Aikido allows one to defend himself from attacks by using the power of his antagonists against them. With a few movements, practitioners of Aikido can easily hold or break the arms and legs of their enemies, send their enemies flying through the air, or render their enemies’ limbs completely unusable. The basis of the philosophy of this particular combat style is that a person’s own violence, properly harnessed, is more than sufficient to neutralize that person.[1]
