First teaching, or first principle. Refers in Aikido to a basic technique in which the attacker is unbalanced through the application of pressure on the elbow and shoulder of his outstretched arm, which is followed by a pinning movement which immobilises the opponent?s arm at a 90° angle to his body with pressure applied to both the elbow and the wrist. |
IRIMI |
Entering movement. Direct inward movement by the defender in front or to the rear of the attacker prior to execution of a technique. |
IRIMINAGE |

IWAMA |
A town of about 15,000 inhabitants situated about 63 miles to the NE of Tokyo. This is the site of the AIKI SHRINE built by the Founder as the Spiritual Centre of Aikido, ca. 1942. Due to the post-war ban on martial arts by the Allied Forces, the AIKIKAI HOMBU DOJO was moved to Iwama in 1948 through 1956, when it was returned to Tokyo. Ueshiba?s dojo is attached to his home and has been under the care and direction of Morihiro Saito since the Founder?s death in 1969 |
IWAMA RYU AIKIDO |
An informal term referring to Aikido as taught in Iwama by Morihiro Saito, one of the closest students of the Founder. Technically it includes an emphasis on the relationship between AIKI KEN and AIKI JO movements. This style of Aikido reflects the art of Ueshiba as taught approximately between the years 1946-1955, and there are more techniques than are presently being practised at the AIKIKAI HOMBU DOJO. |
