Internal martial arts have always enjoyed a state of prominence in combative efficiency. Historically, Aiki Jujutsu is derived from weapon retention methods taught to the Imperial Guards of Aizu Domain and the validity of these arts can easily be seen in the blade. However, that is not where their viability ends.
Last year, we launched a new video mini series entitled "Fighting With Aiki" to promote our method of adapting classical martial arts for modern fighting in American Yoshinkan Aiki Jujutsu. In this video series, we break down some of the classical techniques of Aiki Jujutsu to show how the biomechanics and principles can be applied for self protection. The goal of this series is to encourage the greater aiki community to evolve in order to meet the demands of the modern martial artist. Episode 1, Aiki Sage, is shown below. For all six episodes, please click here.
