Aiki Jujitsu ? What is it?

Aiki Jujitsu, a traditional Japanese martial art, is the forefather of modern Aiki styles and martial arts such as Aikido, Judo and Hapkido.

Aiki Jujitsu students learn to avoid conflict whenever possible. They also learn to take control of difficult situations and to eliminate the threat to their personal safety when violence is unavoidable.

Rather than meeting force with force, students learn the use of circular motion and redirection of an attacker's energy. This helps neutralize the attacker?s size/strength advantage.

A wide variety of techniques are taught to prepare students for a broad range of situations including everything from the basic bully to knife and gun attacks. Students learn to use all of their natural weapons effectively (eg. hands, feet, knees, elbows). The art of Aiki Jujitsu includes striking techniques, blocks, throws, joint locks, chokes, nerve attacks and more.

No competitive fighting is involved. Self-defense techniques are always practised in co-operation with training partners, allowing students to learn ju-jitsu at their own pace in a fun, safe environment.
