Demon Beast Forbidden Area
Chapter 43: Aikido
The founder of Japan's Aikido, Ueshiba Moritahei, had learned jiu-jitsu when he was young. In 1915, he became a disciple of Takeda Sukaku, the head of Aikido, and followed Takeda as a martial arts instructor.
In 1920, he was invited by the founder of the Daimoto Sect, Ojino Saburo, to open a Ueshiba Jujitsu School in Ayabu, Kyoto, to teach jiu-jitsu. He integrated the teachings and ideas of the Daimoto Sect and established another style. Under Ling Yan's influence, Zhizhi paid more and more attention to the spiritual level in martial arts, and began to develop a set of martial arts theory that was different from aiki jiu-jitsu. In 1922, he officially named this set of theories as the Yiqi Martial Arts.
Other than body techniques, Aikido also had Aikido sword techniques and Aikido staff techniques. There were a total of eight moves in the sword technique, including the Eight-sided Cut. There were twenty moves in the staff technique, and the changes were very flexible. There were snatching staffs empty-handed, snatching swords empty-handed, snatching sabers empty-handed, combining swords, combining staffs, etc. The weapons used were wooden swords and wooden staffs. The wooden swords were the same size as samurai swords, while the wooden staffs were slightly longer than the wooden swords.
Principle of Aikido:
The circular movement included movement techniques, joint grabbing, and momentum breaking. All techniques were closely related to the circular movement. Not engaging in a direct confrontation with the opponent, maintaining the center line and center of gravity of the body, using the inner and outer rotation to turn around and move, using the spinning force of the hand knife to wrap around the silk, and the rotation of the waist to drive the whole force to guide the opponent to lose his center of gravity and subdue him. This could be said to be the essence of Aikido.
Triangular steps, whether it was standing or sitting, the two feet must form a triangle with each other, making the center of gravity clear, helping the stability and flexibility of the body. The direction of the toes was often the direction of the force, making it easier for the entire body to concentrate its strength. The triangular footwork could complement the circular rotation. The foot at the center of gravity was the axis, and the footwork moved forward with the left and right halves of the body, protecting the front from being attacked by the enemy, forming an aura that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The four sides were fixed, which referred to the shape formed when the joints were controlled and suppressed. At this moment, it was like the aura of Mount Tai pressing down on the opponent, making it impossible for the opponent to resist.
Another key point of Aikido was to focus on the natural flow of qi. It emphasized that all movements should be natural and reasonable, without any force. The strength of Aikido originated from qi, and it emphasized the cultivation of qi. By using dantian breathing, it complemented the movements of Aikido and allowed the breathing to go with the flow. The imposing manner of each movement was a unique strength.
Aikido's specialty was to cut into the opponent's blind spots and destroy the opponent's center of gravity. Instead of using brute force to attack the other party, he would guide the other party's strength in a non-threatening direction and even absorb it into his own strength to counterattack.

Xialuo closed her eyes and took a deep breath, absorbing the essence of the atmosphere. His hands vibrated in the air, and the Qi in his body combined with the rhythm in the air. Seeing Xia Luo's actions, Liu Yunqiao and Qiao Xu were suspicious. What was Xia Luo doing?
"The Aiqi Dao is the Dao of Qi Fusion, a Dao that is in harmony with the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Heaven and earth could be said to be an infinite collection of infinitely small things. Since ancient times, the East had called this collection Qi. This state produced two opposite effects. These two effects connected with each other, thus producing the so-called heaven and earth. It was called the principle of Yin and Yang, which was also Tai Chi.”
"Everything in the world is born from qi. Our lives can dive into the sea and surround a portion of the sea with our hands. This is my water. It was the same principle. If you surrounded it with your hands, it would be water that belonged to you. However, after you let go, the water would return to the water of the ocean. Life was a part of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, and only the Qi of Heaven and Earth could surround it. Although it belonged to the Qi of Self, Qi itself was the Qi of Returning Heaven and Earth, so it was called Self as Heaven and Earth. As long as one broke away from the shackles of the five bodies, one could reach the realm where one could dance, and Heaven and Earth could dance as well.”
"A person obtains the soul and body from the world. In order to become one with the world, the body and the soul must first become one. The body is dense, called the heart, the heart is sparse, called the body.”
" Before we become one with heaven and earth, our hearts are in a natural state. We can experience the original state of our body and mind. Only those who are modest and have no distracting thoughts and are as calm as a mirror can reflect all things and judge the right and wrong. The so-called mind is as clear as a mirror and reach the realm of becoming one with heaven and earth.”
After Chi Xialuo's hands absorbed the true energy of the earth, her palms emitted two rays of green light that continuously circulated with Chi Xialuo's body. Her inner power combined with the atmosphere, containing an unimaginable and terrifying energy.
Liu Yunqiao suddenly pushed Qiao Xu away, not allowing Qiao Xu to come closer to him. He said to Qiao Xu,"Josh, run as fast as you can. Run as far as you can. I really met an expert this time.”
"Bajiquan is based on the Eight Vajra Strikes and the Little Eight Extreme. Generally, each movement is based on eight breaths. It focuses on the training of the lower body, the strength of the attack, and the cultivation of the skill. Big eight pole wanton its method, mainly to transform strength; The Six Great Opening Techniques were based on the Eight Great Moves and the Eight Extremities Consecutive Fist.”
"Its strength techniques include Sinking Force, Cross Force, and Silk Entanglement Force. His weapon was the Six Harmonies Great Spear. Bajiquan can be practiced together with the Cleaving Palm. Even ghosts and gods were afraid of the Octupole Ginseng! I can't compare with the heroes of the Eight Extremities!”
"Heaven Shaking!"
When Xialuo raised her arms to the same height as her forehead, she threw them down to her dantian one after the other. In a state of defense and attack, the airflow circulated rapidly. The powerful qi quickly spread out through her body, and the surrounding buildings shook. Chi Xialuo raised both her hands, and her body actually floated into the air, quickly absorbing the energy of the atmosphere. An endless stream of air currents quickly gathered towards her, emitting an incomparably terrifying and powerful aura.
With a shake of his hands, Xia Luo's body quickly rushed towards Liu Yunqiao. Liu Yunqiao could feel an incomparably powerful aura. It was as if the flesh and bones of his face were about to be blown apart. A powerful force was stirring his body, and Liu Yunqiao was about to be sent flying.
"Mountain Splitting Kick!"
Liu Yunqiao's right leg kicked forward, and his entire body moved forward. He dragged his shoulder forward, and his right fist reversed the circle to launch a quick attack. His legs straightened, and in the blink of an eye, he pulled his body up. He put his palms together and struck straight at the lower half of Chi Xialuo's body. His palms were filled with strong inner strength, and this force was the cross force.
As soon as Xia Luo got close to Liu Yunqiao, she used her throwing skill. She grabbed Liu Yunqiao's hands with both hands and threw him fiercely!
"Take your hand and throw it in all directions!"
Liu Yunqiao was lifted up by the air current and was thrown out uncontrollably. At that moment, he quickly moved his body forward and struck out with both palms. In an instant, Xialuo was sent flying, and he himself was also sent flying, forming a situation where both sides were injured.
