" Learn Exactly How to Use Aikido Forms, Postures and Styles to Fast-Track YOUR Aikido Skills to a Completely NEW Level "



Learn Aikido forms to develop awesome power. Step on the fast-track to advance your Aikido skills, gain valuable experience and achieve Aikido Success.

During your training in the art of Aikido, you'll quickly notice that there are a variety of Aikido forms, postures and styles used by practitioners. You may be wondering which is the best Aikido style to study.

Aikido 'styles' are different mainly because the head of each style studied with the founder at varying stages of his development.

Morihei Ueshiba taught hard techniques in the early stages of his career, and his students learnt Aikijutsu. Later on it softened slightly, became more circular and was known as Aikibudo, and finally became Aikido.

So, what type of training are you looking for?

1 - Hard, martial training - Yoshinkan, Iwama, etc.

2 - Flowing, blending, training - Aikikai

3 - Focused on energy - Ki Aikido

Of course, there are many styles that are in-between these, but I'm sure you get the idea! Just choose the one that you feel suits you best and train hard but train smart.

One way of ensuring that you train smart is to study the art thoroughly and pick up useful tips along the way. The Aikido Success Blueprint ebook collection will certainly help you fast-track your Aiki skills to new levels.

Aikido forms include... mental and physical Aikido postures, evading attacks, atemi strikes, balance taking, techniques, pins, joint-locks, throws, and even weapon training.

Aikido techniques can kill or injure, but their main purpose is to take control. All of the principles of swordsmanship (eye contact, proper distance, timing, and cutting methods) are included in aikido movements.

A high ranking Aikido Yoshinkan instructor once said to me...

" A warrior chooses to use minimum force to control a situation. If you haven't learn't how to use maximum force, then there is no choice "

So, your techniques, can be performed in a soft flowing way, but also practised in a powerful martial way. This type of variable training will give you the ability to adapt to changing circumstances in your environment.

Usually, in most dojo's, the first Aikido form or technique is shihonage, followed by ikkyo. This is because they are regarded as very difficult to master, and need to be introduced early on.

All of the basic techniques of Aikido need to be practised thousands of times in order to truly master them. Repetition is the only way to get good at anything... right?

The basic stance or posture that you hold throughout your Aikido training, will be different depending on your chosen style. For example, in Aikido Yoshinkan the balance is 60%-70% on the front foot. Other styles have the balance and weight distributed evenly or even on the back foot.

I strongly suggest that you practise a variety of ways to perform each of the basic Aikido forms. This way you will develop a greater understanding of the main principles involved that underlie them.

Personally, I have made an intense study of Aikido for over 20 years. I have also looked at, in depth, the principles, that run through all defence systems. This has given me many insights along the way, which led me to write the Aikido Success Blueprint, and the Aikido First Aid Kit ebooks...


The Aikido Success Blueprint will help you to Fast-Track Your Aiki skills to peak performance levels. It is a massive collection of knowledge, ideal for beginners, students and instructors.

The Aikido First Aid Kit ebook teaches you How to prevent and treat Aikido injuries. It gives you the tools you need to help you stay on the fast track to Aikido mastery. PLUS 4 other FREE BONUS ebooks.
