Taido is a Japanese modern martial art created by Seiken Shukumine in 1965 as a response to the development of Karate. Taido is characterized by acrobatic movements combined wih kicks and punches that are reminiscent of its ancestor, Karate. It contains a lot of motion and its practitioner often moves his/her body over a great distance by way of headrolls, cartwheels and high leaps. Taido techniques are made up of body movements in connection with punches, kicks and the occasional throw.

Taido differs from other martial arts both in the methods used for moving the body about and in the principles for developing power in attack and defence. Taido techniques are designed to make use of a three-dimensional space which means that a technique can be performed from the air downwards, from a standing position in a horizontal plane, or from the floor upwards.

Its creator Seiken Shukumine is also the founder of Gensei Ryu, a branch of Karate. A practitioner of Taido is called a taidoka.
