Aikido
Developed by Morihei Ueshiba, Aikido is a Japanese martial art performed by blending with the motion of the attacker and redirecting the force rather than opposing it. Aikido was developed to create an art that user could yield to defend themselves.

How are Tai Chi Tae Kwon Do and Aikido related?
Historically there is some connection between all of them having shared roots, yet being developed separately in each country of their origin.
Taijiquan (T'ai Chi Ch'uan)would be the older of these martials art systems by name, but all Martial Art curricula were influenced by earlier, undocumented sources and have each evolved over time. Taijiquan is believed to have evolved out of the systems practiced among five Chinese families.
The Chinese Martial Art that developed in the Shaolin Temples were also a blend of earlier sourcdes. Legend has it that the a Buddhist monkbrought the basic principles of the philosophy and some hand striketechniques forphysical exercise trainingfrom India and taught it to monks in the Shoalin Temple in China, however there is also evidence that fighting skills were prevalent in China for centuries prior.China's hand fighting influenced both the Korean and Japanese systems.
Aikido and Taekwondo are more recent creations in their modern form of instruction, though both are based on centuriesancient principles and training that existed in each of their countries respectively.
Aikido is a Japaneseart of evasion and redirecting while blending with an opponent's forces with some grappling controls utilized. Itevolved out of earlier Japanese systems that can also be traced back to influences from China and even Korea since all of these Asian cultures shared information regularly throughout history.
Taekwondo is primarily a striking art with a blend of throwing and grappling skills. It employs hand and foot strikes similar to Japanesekarate, but places the priority of techniques with long range first (kicks then hands - a philosophy of traditional Korean kicking called Tae Kkyeon), followed by close range (Knees and elbows), then joint manipulations, throws, and finally ground-fighting. The techniques of close contact grappling in Taekwondo are partially influenced by older Korean arts, such as subak, but with more recent influences of Japanese Judo (called Yudo in Korea), and Aikido (Hapkido). Some of the influences that led to the development of Taekwondo's first school (Chung Do Kwan) came from the Chinese Hand fighting (Tangsudo), whichwas based on traininggoing back to theShoalin Temples and shared origins with T'ai Chi Ch'uan.
Perhaps the main relationship connection between all of these Asian Martial Art systems can be attributed to a shared philosophy and teachings of the I Ching - Book of Changes. The principles of the Chinese T'ai Chi Tu (Yin and Yang circle), and Korean Taegeuk (Um and Yang) all come from the same source and are core philosophies of these Martial Art systems.

The highest rank in karate is 10th degree. There is normally only one in each style. And it requires many years of dedication to the art. It is seldom, if ever, awarded to anyone under about 65 years old.
________________________________________________________________
Since this question has been added to both the "Karate," and "Taekwondo" categories, it should be noted that Karate, and Taekwondo are not the exact same thing. "Karate" is a term that has been used to describe both the ancient Chinese hand fighting of the Tang Dynasty, and a specific Japanese version of Martial Art (such as Shotokan Karate-do), as well as being used in a general sense to include all forms of unarmed combat. In its early stages, Taekwondo was often referred to as "Korean Karate," and while many still use this phrase today, others consider this to be misleading, and inaccurate since Taekwondo is now a distinctive Korean Martial Art framed mostly around native Korean fighting techniques, tactics, and traditional culture.
The highest rank in Taekwondo has traditionally been the 9th Dan (Degree) with the 10th Dan being only an honorary rank awarded posthumously, or to a 9th Dan who retires from active teaching, yet remains as an advisor. However, in recent times, the Kukkiwon, World Taekwondo Headquarters in Seoul, Korea, has listed the 10th Dan as the highest rank. Many Taekwondo organizations still hold to the 9th Dan as the senior rank, and some have only one 9th Dan awarded to the current President or Kwanjang of their association.
This question can be interpreted in different ways.
As a fighting tool.
Speaking in strictly technical terms, it is very effective at stopping all brainless charging. If a man or woman just charges at them brainlessly, the proverbial "bull rush" tackle attempt, an expert Aikidoka will send them flying. Nine times out of 10 I can almost guarantee it. The majority of street encounters always involve agression by untrained martial artists, so in that respect Aikido can be effective, since most violent assaults involve some sort of bullrushing. The consistent thing about primitive minded criminal assailants, is that they always move forward brainlessly, and Aikido works from there. To a certain extent so does Judo.
However because the martial art is so leverage and physics reliant, it is extremely difficult to perfect, to use it effectively you are looking at a solid decade of training. Not only that, but Aikido's arsenal is extensive; see, practice in Aikido requires that you be a good attacker, or most of the trips and throws just won't work. The momemtum of an opponent, is what many Aikido throws use, and without that momentum that aggressive action the move just will not work. That means that in Aikido training, you learn all sorts of attacks derived from various Japanese martial arts; you even learn "football" style rushing which Aikido borrows from Sumo.
As a life tool.
Because of Aikidos focus on harmony with your attacker, it makes it very hard to learn and use effectively, as mentioned above, with a large amount of training involved.
But the benefit of this is that Aikido experts practice a harmony within, as well as with their opponents. You learn to avoid confrontation without having 'lost' to your opponent. While mastering a very effective fighting martial art, such as those use in MMA, teaches you how to hurt an opponent, it doesn't necessarily translate into a more fullfiled life, because the need to fight and prove yourself over others is maintained.
In Aikido you don't need to assert victory over an opponent, but harmonise with them.
In theory.
What are the Yoshinkai aikido belt colours?
In Japan you are a white belt until you are black. Some Dojo out of Japan still follow that system however that's up to the Sensei. The multi color ranking system did not come from Japan, I believe the US started that but don't quote me on that one. Also in Japan they had purple belts. If you were not an adult they would not promote you to black, so you wore a purple until an adult.
The colors vary from organization to organization.
Our Dojo is white, yellow, orange, blue, green, brown, purple, black. That does not mean that another school might have them in a different order. The belts don't really mean anything except your understanding of the techniques.
Sometimes when you goto another Dojo, you wear a white belt, even if you are a black belt or brown belt. That's just being respectful. Usually the Sensei will give you permission to wear your colored belt. That's just the traditional way of doing it.
Does Steven Seagal teach anyone aikido?
Seagal began his adult life as an aikido instructor in Japan, and is currently a 7th dan in aikido. He is considered the first foreigner to ever own and operate an aikido dojo in Japan.
Let me remind you that past 6th dan, you do not get another dan by studing the art. The 7th dan and forth, is presented to the person by it's contribution to the art. Seagal gave a contribution to Aikido and some masters to the art had not reach the 7th dan.
In karate, you must always show respect to your Sensei/Sempei (instructors) and not discriminate against others. You must respect all higher ranks thank you, and not use your rank to belittle others. Also, you must never use what you have learned to hurt another person, but only as a last resort, once trying to get help and peacefully resolving an issue has failed. You must never incite a fight between you or others, and must never be a bystander to another fight.
1931: first dojo is opened by Morehei Ueshiba (O-Sensei) Aiki-budo is taught. 1942-1952: Aikido is formally used and techniques are perfected. 1948: Aikikai Association is founded to promote Aikido. 1950-1970: Aikido is spread throughout the world. http://www.aikikaicuracao.com/aikicurbiographyosensei.htm
It would be difficult to identify a single person as the founder of karate. Most of the traditional styles trace their lineage through Sokon "Bushi" Matsumura (c.1798-1890).
Each style has a specific 'founder' that broke away from the original. Some claimed to have something better, some that they are still teaching the original and that everyone else has changed it.
What is better aikido or karate?
It depends on the level of the student. Any aikido person will tell you that aikido is better, and most karate students will argue that Karate is. Aikido students learn defense from most attacks, and since it was founded in Japan. Most of the attacks from karate and other Japanese martial arts are covered.
There is no better martial art. It depends on what you would like to learn.
the rules of kendo are ..... The basic rules of kendo are fairly simple: strike one of a handful of targets with your shinai before your opponent strikes yours. The strike must be delivered with proper form and power, such that the proper part of your shinai makes contact with the target area just as your right foot strikes the floor and must be accompanied by your shouting the name of the point you were going for (e.g. "KOTE!"). Sound impossible? Depending on who you're fighting, it can be. Kendo is one of those sports that takes only a few minutes to learn and a lifetime to master.
The Dynamic Sphere exists in a non- fictional work called Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere. The sphere focuses on the moral aspect of the Japanese martial art called aikido.
What are all the rules of Aikido?
There are different forms of Aikido, and rules and techniques are different for each. This is a difficult question to answer for even a single form as this could take a small book to answer.
Aikido Techniques come from ancient Japanese Jiu-Jitsu. Jiu-Jitsu was and still is used in combat. The founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba wanted to make the techniques more flowing and less lethal. The goal of Aikido is to defeat your opponent without injury to you or the attacker. Most of the techniques in Aikido can be damaging and sometimes fatal because you are manipulating small joints in the human body to move an opponent without or nearly no strength at all. The goal is not to break bones or to kill however because you are manipulating smaller joints to move a bigger person, you can hurt them easily however it is not the goal of Aikido.
