Aikido and several styles of Aiki-ju-jutsu share many skills and concepts as well as many challenges. Either one works too hard or one seems rather ineffective. The Aiki-ju-jutsu Toolkit seminars attempt to gradually bring a more fluid, softer, and yet efficacious method to standard Aikido and Aiki-ju-jutsu techniques. This specific program covers entries and takes basic movements into mid-level and advanced applications.
