Aiki Jujutsu

This art was first introduced to William Seibert Soke Dai in October 1984. Already a Black Belt in Tatsu Do Karate and United States Judo Association, Soke Dai Seibert studied Aiki Jujutsu directly from William R. Cavalier (8th Degree Black Belt in Tatsu Do Karate in Livonia New York) and his instructor Kyoto Durant (10th Degree Black Belt in Goshin Jutsu Kyu Juju in Pennsylvania). Soke Dai Seibert studied this art until February of 1989 when he moved to Marion, North Carolina. Seibert Soke Dai then affiliated with Soke Felix Revette, founder of Genki Ryu Do Martial Arts Systems, and has opened three Schools under this system to date. He continues to study and teach from a variety of masters in North Carolina along with Genki Ryu Do Karate. Seibert received the title of Soke Dai from the founder of the Genki Ryu Do, Soke Revette.

Aiki Jujutsu is very unique art dating back to the feudal times of the Samurai in Japan. This art is more original then Aiki Do though you can see the similarities between the two arts.

Aiki Jujutsu is a very light flowing art that uses a high degree of sensitivite, circular movements of the hands and body to lock, throw and hit the opponent. There are no forms or Katas like Tomiki Aiki Do, but there is more emphasis on defense. One learns to blend with the opponent and therefore controls or throws him with soft flowing movements using his attacker off-balance (Kuzushi). This art is ideal against multiple attackers because it allows you to flow through and around them with minimal effort. This art is looked at as a higher learning art because of the degree of sensitivity, balance, calmness of mind, spiritual enlightening and peace with one’s Self. Aiki Jujutsu is taught throughout the Karate system and then as a stand alone art to Black Belt Status.
