The Aikido Lineage down the Years
Posted by DarrenO-Sensei Morihei Ueshiba 12/14/1883 - 4/26/1969
When the O Sensei had completed his training in different forms of swordfighting and jujitsu, Ueshiba became quite famous as one of the strongest men of his time in Japan. Later on sometime around 1919 he became a convert to the teachings of the Omoto-Kyo religion and developed Aikido otherwise known as the Art of Peace. In 1942 the art was renamed Aikido and Ueshiba moved to the small town of Iwama where he taught Aikido until his death in 1969.
