Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu

Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu is a traditional Japanese martial art focused on joint locks, throws, and self-defense techniques. It emphasizes sensitive contact, blending and controlling an opponent’s movements using minimal effort. The art combines precise leverage, timing, and body mechanics to neutralize threats and facilitate effective defense. Developed in the early 20th century, it influences many modern martial arts, including aikido. Daito-ryu promotes principles of harmony and redirection, teaching practitioners how to respond efficiently to various attack scenarios while emphasizing both physical technique and mental discipline.
