Aikido ( aikidō?), translated as "the way of harmonious spirit", is a Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba as a synthesis of his martial studies, philosophy, and religious beliefs. Ueshiba's goal was to create an art practitioners could use to defend themselves without injuring their attacker.

Aikido emphasizes joining with an attack and redirecting the attacker's energy, as opposed to meeting force with force, and consists primarily of body throws and joint-locking techniques. In addition to physical fitness and technique, mental training, controlled relaxation, and development of "spirit" (ki) are emphasized in aikido training.

    Submission Wrestling from W&L Tournaments 13-3
    Norbertissimo
    5 min - Nov 25, 2007

    This is an extract from a W&L video: Cadors 1 Fighters: Fight 1 : Pascal du Kosto des Lascards vs Christophe 2 des Mâtins Terrifiques. Fight 2 : Sylvain 2 de la Fosse aux Molosses vs Ara des Mâtins Terrifiques. Fight 3 : Fabrice des Castagneux Sentimentaux vs Benoît des Mâtins Terrifiques. From their website: http://www.W-and-L.com W&L tournaments are out of this world : the fighters prefer to face each other with neither rules nor referee, and the winner is the guy who manages to score the greatest number of submissions in the space of 25 minutes. All holds are permitted and in some particularly aggressive matches, fighters don't think twice about using their fists, feet, elbows, shins and indeed heads for additional firepower ! In fact, the absence of a referee allows all sorts of bad behaviour ! What's more, the time allowed for these matches is usually long enough to allow each fighter's more primal and passionate characteristics to emerge : arrogance, frustration, pride, humiliation -- all very much in evidence amongst guys who don't trust each other one inch ; who use their voices regularly to intimidate as well as to insult, and who prolong particularly painful holds with relish and breathtaking cruelty ! W&L encounters are much more than straightforward fights ; they're titanic clashes of ego and temperament which slowly-but-surely descend to the level of brutal streetfights ! And as submissions alternate between one fighter and another, so the suspense (as well as the score) builds ! Such is the essence of W&L tournaments. http://www.W-and-L.com
