How many moves are there in Aikido?
In my exploration of Aikido, a fascinating Japanese martial art, I learned that there isn't a definitive count of the number of moves. It's a fluid and versatile discipline that comprises a wide array of techniques. These include throws and joint locks, which can vary greatly based on the approach and style of the practitioner. However, most schools of Aikido tend to focus on a core set of around 20 basic techniques. Each of these can be executed with slight modifications, making the total number of moves virtually limitless.
