The Art of Aiki-Jutsu
Although developed on the battlefield, Aiki-Jutsu has been refined and updated in order to restrain and control an aggressive opponent in a quick, easy and practical way to minimise injury to yourself and those that may be with you.
Like with Aikido, Aiki-Jutsu uses the opponents force against them, upsetting their balance and then throwing or pinning them in a variety of locks and submissions. However as it was originally derived on the battle field by Samurai, Aiki-Jutsu uses hard techniques like strikes and breaks too to subdue an opponent.
The techniques are easy to learn and devastating when fully applied. Learn to defend yourself at a time when the streets are becoming more dangerous every day. Don't be a statistic of violence, feel safe and confident and protect your family.
Syllabus
Students are taught how to block and avoid
various attacks, and apply a variety of
techniques to control the attacker through the use of joint locks and restraints.

Alan Watts great life lesson that just happens to describe a principle we use in Aiki Jutsu:
Aiki Jutsu - a practical self defence system for beginners and experienced practitioners looking to compliment what they already do - whether that's Aikido, Karate, TKW or anything else. Come along and try - first 4 sessions completely free.
Excellent evening last night at Leventis Taekwondo Club in Abbotts Langley. We spilt the session between TKD pad work kicking and punching and our Aiki knife defence techniques. A pint and a chat afterwards went down well too. Lovely to meet likeminded practitioners that are open to collaborating. Thanks Lorraine and all those that took part.

Mental health is becoming elevated in the media and the health service these days. We all have to take care of our own but also notice the mental health of those around us.
Some good advice being offered to those suffering with depression or anxiety or negative thoughts and feelings include: Try new things, exercise regularly, be more aware and 'in the moment', connect with people in a physical setting, work towards a goal and have fun.
... Joining our Aiki Jutsu group actually satisfies all of these - and you learn a practical self defence system in the process.
So come down and give us a try every Tuesday from 8pm at Aldenham sports centre - and remember the first 4 sessions are free.

FIRST 4 SESSIONS FREE: So try before you buy and enjoy our friendly atmosphere.
Just came across this photo from a few years ago. That's me on the right (Sensei Stuart Young) with my instructor 5th Dan Adrian Leach on the left - he's probably forgotten more than I'll ever know and still finds little improvements we can make to our techniques when he pops by from time to time. The chap in the middle is Master Evan Pantazi a Kyusho Jutsu exponent from the US, we spent a weekend with him back then learning about pressure point knockouts and dysfunction strikes.
Two new Brown belt grades on the mat - congratulations to Tom and Anthony on passing your 1st Kyu grading.
