Warriors serving noble families in the feudal age of Japan. Over time, they developed their own code of ethics and principles known as Bushido, or the way of the warrior. Aikido draws on the principles of Bushido, emphasizing respect, discipline, and harmony with others. Aikido techniques were developed by Morihei Ueshiba, who studied various traditional martial arts before creating his own unique style.
