The system taught at Budokai South is Minami Budo Ryu Aiki Jujitsu (Southern Martial Way Discipline).
We have arranged hundreds of techniques into a comprehensive system with realistic self-defense being the goal of training. Techniques include strikes, throws, chokes, joint locks, ground fighting, and more. Students start with the basic techniques and, as they proceed through the system, they build on these basics and gradually progress to more complex theories and techniques. These techniques come from many Jujitsu and Aiki Jujitsu systems. Although many Jujitsu systems have very effective self-defense and realistic combat techniques, many also have techniques that may be out-dated, or may not work well in realistic combat; especially in today’s society. We feel at Budokai South, Jujitsu must remain an ever-evolving art of self-defense that continuously adapts to ever-changing combat scenarios. At Budokai South, there are no sport competitions or trophies.
