Re: Creation of the name "Aikido"

Mr Krause,

I personally do not believe that there is any disagreement that the name 'aikido' was decided by a committee of the Dai Nippon Butokukai and not invented by Morihei Ueshiba. I do, however, believe that Ueshiba himself agreed to adopt the name for the art that he had created. This is not to deny, of course, that other organizations also used the name, without any reference to Morihei Ueshiba.

Best wishes,

P A Goldsbury
