“….the defender blends (without clashing) with attacker through the application of internal strength or Ki energy to effect techniques… blending with an attacker’s movements allows the Aiki practitioner to control the actions of the attacker with minimal effort. One applies aiki by understanding the rhythm and intent of the attacker to find the optimal position and timing to apply a counter-technique.

* 合 – ai – joining
* 氣 – ki – spirit
