Aikikai is The Most Popular
Style As Taught By The
Ueshiba Family Dojo in Japan!

The Aikikai Foundation is the main style of Aikido because it is the original organisation, as recognised by the Japanese government in 1940.

It is an umbrella organisation for the growth of aikido throughout the world, and it's headquarters Hombu Dojo, is located in Tokyo, Japan.

After Morihei Ueshiba O-Sensei died his son Kisshomaru Ueshiba Sensei took over as leader. The current doshu is Morihei's grandson Moriteru Ueshiba Sensei

Aikikai is sometimes described as Ueshiba Aikido, and thought to be the most traditional of the aikido schools. It has kept many aspects which O'Sensei valued in his original aikido... non-resistance and focus on flowing technique.

Aikikai is also often referred to as a style of aikido, although instructors, technically, can be very different. The students of Morihei Ueshiba each had their own interpretation of his art, and often other influences too.

I think the main reason for this is that O'Sensei taught many different ways throughout his life. From hard, practical Aiki-Jutsu and Aiki-Budo to the soft flowing Aikido, self-development and spirituality.
 

Morihei developed Aikido from his combat studies of Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu with Master Sokaku Takeda, and his spiritual studies with Onisaburi Deguchi.

To unite millions of aikido students, the International Aikido Federation (IAF) was formed in 1975, leading the way for Aikido to be practised on a global scale.

Aikido is popular, not just in Japan, but throughout the world as people accept the philosophy, and practiced by more than a million people in 50+ countries.

Aikido is spreading internationally because it's not bound to any one nation or people, and offers a... legacy of harmony, peace, love, and friendship.
