The principle of aikido is to blend in with the force or attack,
join it and continue using the other persons power along with
your own power against them. Aikido uses a system of
leverage, finger, wrist and arm locks to subdue their potential
attacker.

Students spend a great deal of time learning to fall and roll,
usually on padded mats. This is necessary as the practice of
aikido requires practitioners to be able to withstand various types
of throws, sweeps and takedowns.

Typically, after a couple of years of training, students of aikido
are able to defend themselves from various type of open handed and
weapon attacks.

Watching a skilled Aikido student can be beautiful. It seems so
effortless in their maneuvers that they are able to send their
would be attacker flying in different directions.
