Tomiki Aikido

TOMIKI AIKIDO AIKIDO is an art formulated in the 1930's by Morihei Uyeshiba. He took elements of several Japanese arts including wrestling and fencing and combined them with his own philosophical outlook to create one of Japan's most popular martial arts.

The underlying principle of this art is non-resistance, using the opponent's own energy to unbalance or throw him and follow-up with a lock or a strike.

 

Kokushi Ryu Jujutsu

Beginners and advanced students, as well as instructors, can use the new ideas and techniques of Kokushi-ryu jujutsu to develop their discipline and self defense skills
