What is Aikido?
Aikido (Japanese: 合気道 Hepburn: aikidō) [aikiꜜdoː] is a modern Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba as a synthesis of his martial studies, philosophy, and religious beliefs. Aikido is often translated as "the way of unifying (with) life energy" or as "the way of harmonious spirit".
Ueshiba's goal was to create an art that practitioners could use to defend themselves while also protecting their attacker from injury.
Aikido's techniques include: irimi (entering), turning movements (that redirect the opponent's attack momentum), various types of throws and joint locks.
Aikido derives mainly from the martial art of Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu, but began to diverge from it in the late 1920s, partly due to Ueshiba's involvement with the Ōmoto-kyō religion. Ueshiba's early students' documents bear the term aiki-jūjutsu.
Ueshiba's senior students have different approaches to aikido, depending partly on when they studied with him. Today aikido is found all over the world in a number of styles, with broad ranges of interpretation and emphasis. However, they all share techniques formulated by Ueshiba and most have concern for the well-being of the attacker.

Sait Ali Sensei has started his path of Aikido in the year of 2003 in Antalya, Turkey. Antalya has a special place in both Turkey and the Middle East, as a primary location of establishment for an Aikikai. This is due to its strong history which had been initiated by Sensei Sefer Koçak Sensei in 1996 with the approval of Takeo Satsumi Sensei (Aikikai 7th dan) in 2002.
Through the quality education from Osamu Furutani Sensei (Aikikai 6th dan), Sait Ali Sensei had acquired his 1st Dan in the year of 2007.

The art's philosophy is to meet a physical attack with the avoidance of violence by seizing control of the situation and neutralizing the attack with an outcome where no one is hurt.
