About Daito Aiki Jiu-Jitsu Daito Aiki Jiu-Jitsu. This martial art is a palace-style self-defense technique that was originally conveyed only to the senior samurai of the Aizu clan. Until the Meiji era, martial arts was a secret to the public, but it became known to the public by Takeda Sokaku, a native of Aizu. Moving zazen "I can't be slashed. I can't be beaten. I can't be kicked. I can't be kicked." Mr. Komichi Horikawa, a high school brother of Takeda Sokaku, positions martial arts in this way. The goal is not to defeat the opponent, as in the case of match-style martial arts and martial arts, but to enhance one's spirituality. This is the ideal, peaceful philosophy of martial arts. Specializing in zazen teaching, I realized that the ignorance of this martial art was very close to the point of Zen enlightenment. The technique of Daito-ryu Aiki Jiu-Jitsu can be rephrased as "moving zazen". Active martial arts for a lifetime The appeal of this martial art is that it can be learned by anyone, regardless of Ageo/Okegawa or Sex. At present, there are children from kindergarten below and those who have passed Koki above. Mid-Year hard and body in, yet is powerless even I, was able to so much without difficulty learning. One of the few martial arts that can last a lifetime. Please try it by all means
