Aikido Library Free - Google Play

Welcome to the world of AikiDroid! AikiDroid is an educational and fund-raising effort of the Glen Ellyn Aikido Club combining the martial art of Aikido and Android technology. Aikido Library is not intended to teach Aikido. Rather, it is an extremely convenient way to review Aikido techniques in order to associate them with their correct names. In other words, it is meant to help Aikido students study more efficiently off the mat, so they will spend their time on the mat learning the things they can only learn in class.

Aikido Library consists of various interactive pages that contain lists of Aikido techniques or terms. These lists contain links to videos and term definitions. THE VIDEOS ARE STORED ON YOUTUBE - so that we may have hundreds of videos available in one application. By tapping on any column heading, you can sort lists by Japanese terms, attack names, technique names, etc. All videos have a regular speed version, as well as a slow motion version. The term definition pages may themselves contain links or images explaining concepts in even greater depth. This free version contains only a limited sub-set of what is available in the full version. As time goes on, the full version of Aikido Library will continue to be enhanced and expanded with more videos, images and definitions.

AikiDroid videos are made for easy downloading and playing. To this purpose, they are edited to have no wasted time at the beginning or end, and usually show only one style – even though there are usually more styles that are commonly used. Our videos are also black and white, and without sound to keep file sizes to a minimum. Furthermore, depending on your operating system, no sound means that you can continue to listen to music or podcasts without interruption.
