Aikibojitsu is a beautiful and challenging art form within which practitioners explore depths of silence and peaks of explosive power through precise and flowing movements with a staff. Based in a sophisticated and powerful approach to the martial art of Aikido, Aikibojitsu lends itself to a unique approach to a martial system that ultimately comes down to confrontation with a simple stick of wood. Aikibojitsu is an archetypal call for practitioners to look deeply at the simple and unique fact of existence, alone, but with power. A unique approach to martial arts, Aikibojitsu provides an in-depth and comprehensive examination of the power of non-resistance.
