Although Aiki-Jujutsu shares many similarities with Jujutsu, Aiki-Jujutsu’s underlying principle is the use of Ki (esoteric internal energy) and timing to blend with an attackers force to affect a throw or joint lock – or simply evade and escape.

The art emphasises redirection instead of simply clashing with an opponents force. Although well suited to defending against a single attacker, through its ability to quickly redirect an opponent, Aiki-Jujutsu affords some advantages in confrontations with multiple unarmed or armed attackers and is a highly useful defensive art. Aiki-Jujutsu utilises both the harder ‘external’ principles along with the softer ‘internal’ principles to deal with the variety of attack and defence scenarios.
