AIKI, the first two syllables of aikido mean that the defender tries to align with the thoughts (spirit) and then with the movement of the aggressor. More specifically, this principle states that a defender anticipates the thoughts and intentions of an aggressor, in order to foresee the line of an attack and align with his movements. The success of these movements requires that one synchronises his movements with the attacker and stays connected with him or her.
