World Seikido: Terminology

Terminology

Because of the Aikido foundation to many Seikido self defence techniques, there are specific Japanese terms for some individual techniques, which are sometimes mentioned when the technique is taught. Students memorize these so they associate the name of the technique immediately with the required movement. Knowing the Japanese terminology permits Seikido students to attend classes at Aikido and Aikijutsu schools almost anywhere and understand the instructions.
