The relationship between Takemusu Aikido and Traditional Aikido

Takemusu Aikido

Take is the same Japanese character as the Bu in Bushido, meaning martial.
Musu means to give birth to, or create.
O Sensei used the term Takemusu Aikido as a means to explain the highest level of Aikido – to be able to spontaneously use and create effective Aikido techniques in any given situation.

Traditional Aikido

Another term used for this type of Aikido is Traditional Aikido. Saito Sensei created a five part series of books published between 1973 and 1975. These books are entitled Traditional Aikido. The Aikido that Saito Sensei was practising and teaching, from the founders passing in 1969 until his own death in 2002, was the Aikido he was taught by the Founder.
