Ueshiba Morihei, 14 décembre 1883 - 26 avril 1969 est le fondateur de l aïkido. En adaptant les techniques de combat ancestrales japonaises, il a contribué, avec Jigoro Kano et Gichin Funakoshi, à la conservation de ce savoir menacé d oubli par la modernisation de la société japonaise.

Le style le plus répandu est celui initié par le propre fils du fondateur, Kisshomaru Ueshiba, style connu sous le nom d Aikikai.

Aikido Ground Fighting presents effective ground techniques that remain true to aikido founder Morehei Ueshiba's teachings while addressing a potential weakness in the system: while aikido is renowned for its submission and compliance techniques as well as grappling from a standing position, it is not known for its effectiveness when it comes to ground fighting. Aikido Ground Fighting is a unique look at the roots of aikido techniques (in particular, the kneeling practices of suwari-waza) and how they might be applied to defense on the ground. Written by a direct student of Morihei Ueshiba in collaboration with other aikido teachers, this book remains steadfastly true to the founder's teachings while presenting innovative and effective techniques. Containing never-before-published pictures of Ueshiba as well as step-by-step photographs clearly demonstrating techniques, Aikido Ground Fighting is designed for aikido students looking to become more well-rounded martial artists as well as practitioners of all martial arts seeking effective self-defense techniques.
