Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu -- (Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu), originally called Daitō-ryū Jujutsu, is a Japanese martial art that first became widely known in the early 20th century under the headmastership of Takeda Sokaku. Takeda had extensive training in several martial arts (including Kashima Shinden Jikishinkage-ryū and sumo) and referred to the style he taught as "Daitō-ryū" (literally, "Great Eastern School"). Although the school's traditions claim to extend back centuries in Japanese history there are no known extant records regarding the ryū before Takeda. Whether he is regarded as the restorer or founder of the art, the known history of Daitō-ryū begins with Takeda Sokaku. Perhaps the most famous student of Takeda was Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of aikido. -- Aikijujutsu according to Wikipedia Aiki-jujutsu is fundamentally different from other fighting arts because of the very fact that it doesn’t put its main emphasis in relative principles, but rather it puts its focus on how to benefit from capturing this “absolute” instant of time and space created somewhere during the period of mutual contact between you and the opponent. -- Aikijujutsu according to FightingArts.com Aikijujutsu VS. Aikido Unlike aikido, aikijujutsu is a warrior combat method used during Japan’s many civil wars. It was designed to cripple or kill the attacker or opponent. Today, aikijujutsu techniques can be used to subdue a suspect or attacker without pain, to cause pain without injury, or to inflict pain, injury and the dislocation of joints, should the situation demand it. In aikijujutsu, ample use is made of striking techniques against body weaknesses. One also studies many martial disciplines in aikijujutsu and receives a well-rounded and effective program of combat skills. A path for personal improvement and awareness remains open, but the primary purpose of aikijujutsu is an effective form of combat. In aikijujutsu training, your “partner” takes the form of an aggressor and, unlike aikido, resistance to a technique is allowed. Also, unlike aikido, attacks and holds in aikijujutsu are made with power and focus. -- Black Belt Magazine Archives Daito-ryu aikijujutsu is one such splinter
style that has somehow managed to adhere to the traditional teachings of its core style forerunner (daito-ryu) and
its predecessor (aiki). But because of its adherence to tradition—and its insistence on retaining most of the more
painful and deadly techniques—the art has remained relatively obscure. Nami Ryu Aiki Jujutsu Aiki jujutsu was the most sophisticated of the unarmed fighting arts of the Samurai warriors of ancient Japan. Aiki jujutsu evolved from the sword in the cauldron of close quarter combat, the most demanding of human physical conflict. These techniques evolved over centuries of intense personal warfare and reflect the deep understanding that was gained by these warriors. For the ancient Samurai the necessity of a highly functional grappling art was essential due to the nature of edged weapon based conflict. In these engagements the breaks, throws, strikes, and unarmed defense against weapons were used both with and without the sword in their hands. The techniques used were identical to those used with the sword. -- Nami Ryu Aiki Jujutsu Aikijujutsu Free Ebooks and DocumentsChokushin Aiki Jujutsu Student
Guide 182 KB | 15 pages IllustratedArticles The Quick Pistol Disarm: An Aiki-Jujitsu Method. . . When confronted with a hand gun pointed at your chest, either touching it or held close, immediately raise your hands and act in a scared, passive and cooperative manner. If there is time, say something (and you will hear this with most disarm techniques) like, ”Hey, hey – I don’t want any trouble. What do you want.” Give the impression that you are no threat . . . Read the rest of the article Avoiding Excessive Force . . . One limitation of karate, taekwondo and many kung fu styles that rely on punches and kicks is that the defender can easily be perceived to be the aggressor or having applied excess force. And if the defender strikes an attacker after the threat has ceased, he or she may end up arrested and possibly sued. One advantage of Jujitsu techniques is that they are usually perceived by onlookers as well as law enforcement as a soft, non-aggressive defensive response. This can also minimize any civil legal consequence . . . Read the rest of the article Defense To A Bag Over The Head - Attack From The Rear . . .

While uncommon, this type of attack is now seen in a growing number of robberies and personal attacks . . . Read the rest of the article Releasing The Arms To Counter A Front Bear Hug . . . When faced with a tight front bear hug, the defender can partially release the tight grip and create space for movement by squatting downward (letting the defender’s weight pull on the arms to loosen them). The defender can then shift his or her hips to the side (here, the left). This releases the attacker’s grip on the elbows and creates room for movement. Since the defender’s elbows are no longer locked to his sides, significant power can be generated to attack the attacker’s groin . . . Read the rest of the article The Combat Roll . . . The combat roll is not pretty. In fact to many the combat roll looks like a crude adaptation of the rolls they have long been taught. In my experience, however, it might just save you from serious injury . . . Read the rest of the article The Controlled Flying Scissors Takedown . . . This technique is most often performed by quickly launching the body into the air to attempt to
entangle and take down the opponent with the scissor action of the legs across the body and legs. But, if execution
is poor the technique just might not work if the opponent is in a strong, balanced stance. The defender is then
vulnerable to counterattack . . . Read the
rest of the article Defeating The Football Tackle . . . The subject lunged at Anthony, attempting to use a football tackle to knock him to the ground. However, he was unsuccessful as Anthony used a common jujitsu defense against the tackle. Once one the ground, he immediately moved behind the attacker placing a strangle hold on him (to stop the blood flow to the brain), causing him to start to lose consciousness. Here it is important to note that pressure was applied to the side of the neck to restrict blood flow and not against the front of the neck which can cause damage to the windpipe . . . Read the rest of the article Grab And Downward Knife Attack . . . In this senerio, someone grabs you with one hand and attempts to strike down at you with the other. Here the attacker is using a knife, but remember, it could just as easily it be any object, or a fist, or someone trying to rip your eyes out. This is one solution . . .
