Insanity Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 i have done Aikdido for about a month, and from what i have heard and read Aikido was based on Aikijujutsu! So whats the real difference between the two n e way! I aslso wanted to ask if there n e deflecting type blocks in Aikido, against kicks and pucnhes, since you cant jhope to execute a technique every time the guy attacks right! , i haven't seen n e yet and would like to know if there were n e!

Kensai Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 Hey Insanity. There is an old saying about Aikido and Aikijutsu. "If your smiling during training your doing Aikido." I would say that Aikijutsu is a little more complete on the offensive techniques. I really like the style, but I prefer Aikido. A great book is "The Hidden Roots of Aikido by Omiya". Lists the techniqes shows picture etc. Really nicely put together. Aikido has few blocks, well oringal Aikido anyway. Aikido defence henges around movement more than static blocking techniques. But once you have good good ma-ai (true distancing), then they have you come to you. However there are some guys on https://www.aikiweb.com that can give you lots more information on that topic than me. Insanity, just stick with your training and the answers will come.
Kyle-san Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 I would say that Aikijutsu is a little more complete on the offensive techniques. It's much more complete in terms of offensive techniques and certainly more vicious than Aikido.

Karateka_latino Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 "If your smiling during training your doing Aikido" Very True, my friend told me that everytime he finish an Aikido class you feel like hugging all your classmates. lol
Kensai Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 I cant say I have ever felt quite that way, but it definately has a calming effect.
Kirves Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 Aikijujutsu was developed on and for war, it is classical bujutsu. It's techniques were honed on battlefields. Aikido was developed from Aikijujutsu techniques for a more peaceful purpose. Aikido's techniques have been honed for modern budo.
