For our own edification:

Aikido
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aikido

Developed by Ueshiba as an expression of universal peace and reconcilliation aikido was synthesized primarily from Daito-ryu Aiki-jujitsu.

Additional styles incorporated into the system: Ten-jin shinyo ryu, Gotoha Yagyu Singan-ryu and Judo.

Its technical structure is derived from kenjutsu (jubaji and Arieson were right all along).

Weapons include staff, spear and bayonet.

Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daito-ryu_aiki-jujutsu

Its translated as the "great estern style" and stylisticcally described as the 'harder' father style of aikido, the art also includes sword techniques from a style called Ono-ha Itto ryu.

Jujitsu
