What “level” of Aiki skill is emphasized by your system? Tony Annesi (Takeshin Aiki-ju-jutsu) demonstrates ju-jutsu, ju-jutsu with an aiki format, aiki-ju-jutsu, and the rarely seen and difficult level known simply as “aiki.” Most ju-jutsu students have a hard, fast and very effective form of self-defense. Then, to become more efficient, they investigate aikido or aiki-ju-jutsu. What they often end up with is either ju-jutsu that looks like aikido or a large, fluid, and less effective ju-jutsu. Both ju-jutsu and aikido can be effective and soft, both can be fluid and efficient if you are aware of the levels of development outlined in this video.
