Yoseikan Aiki combines Mochizuki's family knowledge of Daito Ryu, Judo and Gyokushin Ryu Jujutsu from creators of those martial arts in the 19th century and anatomic knowledge of human body from about 1000 years ago. Yoseikan has developed a teaching system of Aiki-Jujitsu through learning different techniques based on a single biomechanic principle of movement. Aiki's kihon (basics), tai sabaki (footwork) and strategy come directly from japanese fencing. Because of this fact, we strongly recommend a parallel study of kenjutsu, iaido and kobudo while we learn aiki.

Yoseikan Aiki is very technical and includes self-control (police and security bodies), an efficient use of our body through angles, leverage, timing, breathing, posture and also self-defense, since the art doesn't have a sportive version and there is little restriction on the techniques used.

The study of one art will help us to improve and understand the others. Since its daily practice include joint locks, projections and all sorts of atemi (strikes), an overall level of maturity is required and this class is only available to students from 15 years of age or older.

Kobudo mean the all kinds of traditional Japanese weapons, including Bo(Long stick), Jo(Short stick), spear, Naginata, knife, twin knifes(swords), Nunchaku, Sai, Tonfa...etc. This is because of ancient Japanese war culture. Namely, in real battlefields in the past in Japan, a samurai had not time to choose what weapon to use and what technique to employ. Therefore, he had to learn as many techniques as possible in order to protect himself and his lord flexibly.

The development of new weapons and methods of combat in this period supported warriors to kill opponents with little force and resource while maintaining the distance. Learning Kobudo allows us not only to enjoy physical activities and to learn techniques, but also to get deeper insights into real ancient Japanese war culture.

In addition to the historical aspect of Kobudo, Yoseikan’s Kobudo allows students to be more flexible to different weapons and situations. Namely, Yoseikan’s Kobudo employs basic movements of modern martial arts such as kick-boxing and boxing, so that students can adapt themselves to and extend their attacking range with different weapons flexibly with techniques.
