Aikido Glossary

O'Sensei (© 1996/97 Hans-Peter Dommel -- any mistakes in this glossary are solely due to the author and do not reflect the opinion of other North Bay Aikido members.)

Note: This glossary of Aikido terms and techniques is intended to serve as a brief reference to the art, not as a thorough account for the inherent complexity of certain concepts.

The glossary is sorted alphabetically within related concepts. An only-alphabetically sorted glossary can be found here. Although comprehensive, it is far from complete.

Please feel free to submit further terms to be included.

The allusions to the "Six Pillars of Aikido" stem from the book "Budo" by O'Sensei.

Topics:
Concepts, Principles and Spirituality | The Training Place and Appearance | The Five Steps to Enlightenment | The Six Pillars of Aikido | The Meaning of Hakama Pleats | Roles, Postures, Directions and Movements | Weapons | Attacks | Grabs and Holds | Techniques | Throws | Ranks, Learning, and Teaching | Greetings, Order, and Etiquette | Parts of body | Counting
