Shorinji Aikijujitsu TM is an ancient martial art that predates modern Aikido and Jujitsu styles. It is based on the original joint twisting and breaking plus grappling techniques of the Chinese Shaolin Chin-na Kung-fu from the legendary Shaolin Temple (Shorinji). Punches and kicks were added from the original Shaolin Kempo. The throws and holds aspect comes from Shuai Chiao Kung-fu. It also has strikes to set up or injure an opponent. All your present knowledge of hand & foot fighting will be useful added to the throws, holds, joint locks, chocking and secret breaking and disabling techniques you will learn in this art. This is taught in a safe, controlled environment beause this system was designed for martial combat and permanent injury or death.
