Taido ( 躰道 / taidō ) is a Japanese martial arts or budo created in 1965 by Seiken Shukumine (1925 - 2001). The word "Taido" can be translated as the way of the mind and body (or internal and external self). Taido has its roots in traditional Okinawan Karate. Feeling that the martial arts were not adapting to meet the needs of a changing world, Shukumine first developed a style of karate called Genseiryu around 1950.

Founding


Eventually, he became convinced that the limitations of karate lay in its two-dimensional nature. He considered how to adapt the martial arts to a three-dimensional world and introduced the new art as "Taido." Taido's techniques offered many innovations: the inclusion of spinning and twisting movements, gymnastic maneuvers, speedy and effective footwork, and a changing body angle make Taido a thoroughly modern martial art.
