What is Aiki Jutsu ???

Aiki Jutsu is an art that teaches one to harmonize completely with any attack, leading an attacker to a point of imbalance, and then applying a neutralizing technique. People believe different things about Aiki Jutsu, some believe that it is possible to study the art as a spiritual discipline and others believe that they are learning to unite with there spiritual energy with the universe and become 'one with nature.' The people that train in Aiki Jutsu often study this art because they believe it is a very dynamic system of combat and self defence. If you look at the Chinese symbol the Yin Yang, you see two halves that are different but yet the same just opposite. If you are attacked by a force (yang) and you apply a force (yang), a collision of energies occur leading to the strongest party winning, but if however you meet this force and absorb the movement (yin) and then exhaust it to the point of imbalance before applying a force of your own (the aiki jutsu way). Aiki Jutsu is a very gentle art in which there is not much energy used to apply a technique, this is why it is a very effective art and is very powerful if applied correctly.

What Do I Need ???

To study Aiki Jutsu you will need to buy a GI (training suit). But to start with wear some old baggy clothes that you do not need any more, as they may get stretched or ripped.

How Is Aiki Jutsu Taught?

The class starts with a warm up, then break falls and rolls. The Aiki Jutsu system is made up of nine basic movements.
