Anyone know anything about aiki goshindo?

I've been checking out a school near me that teaches this and it looks pretty cool. From what I've seen it's like aikido but more practical and with a few strikes. It looks worth trying but wanted some opinions. Thanks for any input.

Not a branch I've heard of, but check it out, watch a few classes, and let us know what you learn. It may be unique to your area.

And welcome to KF!

I echo Brian's sentiments wholeheartedly across the board!! Won't know if it's something that fits your expectations until you visit it several times.

And yes, welcome to KF, 6 finger fist; glad that you're here!!

Sport Goshindo

There is also a Kodachi Goshindo system founded by Tetsundo Tanabe. It is now known as Sports Chanbara. [1] It is now considered as a free-style Japanese combat sport, which originated from the aforementioned Kodachi Goshindo (Self-defense with short sword).

Self-defense Goshindo

Goshindo is also an alternate name of the self-defense art created by Shogo Kuniba. His art is referred to as Goshin Budo, Kuniba-ryu Goshindo or Kuniba Goshinbudo Jujutsu depending on the organization. [2]
