Documenting a Martial Art of Peace


If I were to make a documentary, I would make it on Aikido. Aikido is a Japanese martial art created around the WWII era that focuses on using an attacker's energy against them. The techniques used in Aikido are designed to keep the attacker and defender safe, rather than trading well aimed and practiced kicks, punches, and blocks.

I think this documentary would be interesting because Aikido is such a unique martial art in theory and visually. It's something that is hard to explain in words, but is very interesting to see and feel.
