| Research Abstract |
Upon deciphering Isamu Takeshita's diary and the scroll known as "Ken", the following points were elucidated. 1) It was "Daito-ryu Jujutsu" that Morihei Ueshiba taught in Tokyo circa 1926 or 1927. The name of Ueshiba's martial art changed from "Daito-ryu (Aiki) Jujutsu" to "Aioi-ryu Aiki Jujutsu" in 1928; to "Aiki Bujutsu" in 1929; and to Aiki Budo around 1933. 2) The visit of prominent Judoka, Kendoka and Karateka suggests that other martial arts systems will have influenced Ueshiba's martial art. 3) The number of techniques taught by Ueshiba was 1,635. The number of patterns of fight was supposed to be 66, of which more than 70% were cases of being grasped or of trying to grasp. 4) Ueshiba's martial art was suited to practical use.
