Japanese Art of Self Defense

Aiki-Jutsu of South Florida

Aiki-Jutsu is an ancient Japanese art of self-defense dating back to 11^th century Japan. The name literally means The Way and techniques of Harmony and Spirit Power. Harmony refers to being at peace with nature and one self as well as with others in every life situation. Ki or spirit power refers to the mystical life force that permeates every aspect of the universe and flows through the body and the mind. It is recorded that more than 700 years ago there existed to the north of mount Fuji an ancient school of martial arts specializing in the techniques of Aiki-Jutsu, keeping it a secret and teaching the techniques privately only to a handful of samurai and nobles. Through the centuries, the art of Aiki-Jutsu evolved to combine these spiritual forces with practical and effective martial art techniques specially designed for real combat.
