Aiki BuJutsu Do
Over time, Sensei Moore - through years of training - came to realize that there is no one "superior" style in the Martial Arts. Repeatedly, she has observed how a particular technique will "flow" from one style into another, which gives a full range of motion and a beautifully finished action. This idea of oneness is the founding precept which allows each student the freedom to study and the ability to achieve his or her full Martial Arts potential. Sensei Moore developed Aiki BuJutso Do to expand on this concept and blend several styles of Martial Arts into one seemless system. Aiki BuJutsu Do includes the following styles of Martial Arts:
Shorin Ryu Karate
A Martial Art that is descended from the
Shaolin Monks. It is based upon the White Crane and was created in 1820
by Soken "Bushi" Matsamura in Okinawa. This art has many derivative
styles that claim to have direct descent to the founder of Karate in Okinawa,
Satonushi “Pechin” Sakagawa. In essence, Shorin Ryu is descended
from one of the three primary schools in Okinawa. They are Tomari
Te, Shuri Te, and Naha Te, i.e. Tomari, Shuri, and Naha ‘hand’. The
differences in these three are the specialties of hard / soft styles known
for each region.
JuJitsu
(Tsuki Shio Ryu)
A Martial Art that was organized in the
year 1532 by Takanouchi Hisamori. It is a combination of fighting,
take-downs, and grappling techniques. This art seems to be the predecessor
to many fighting styles known today. Modern Brazilian Ju Jitsu tends
to be the style most people think of when they hear the name JuJitsu, but
in reality, there are many styles which dedicate their studies and teachings
to the purity of the art and defenses. In general, Ju Jitsu tends
to be a popular competitive sport because it utilizes both the kicking
and striking known to Karate and also the takedowns and pins known to Judo.
Judo
(Kodokan)
A Martial Art that was adapted from JuJitsu
by Dr. Jigaro Kano in 1882. It is primarily a grappling art
that is used to develop physical strength and moral character. This
sport is a highly structured point based system which is decided by throws
and pinning techniques. Judo literally translates to "gentle way,"
and teaches its students to use an opponents force against themselves.
Taiho Jitsu
A unique blend of Martial Arts techniques
that are universally accepted as approved police defenses and unarmed self-defenses.
This art is the basis of hand to hand defenses for many police forces around
the world. The goal of the art is to render a subject compliant in
the most expedient manner possible by the use of pressure points, pain
compliance, and basic weapons such as the PR-24 and other similar devices.This
program is offered to adults only, after a placement conference with the
Chief Instructor.
Okinawan Kobudo
Specialized training in Okinawan weaponry
including staffs, sai, kama, tonfa, etc. This training is comprised
of theory, history, basic exercises, kumite, and kata.Training
commences when a student has mastered basic stances, kata, and techniques
in regular Martial Arts.Students
begin training at the Advanced Rokkyu level and progress from non-bladed
to bladed implements.At the Black
Belt level, students are given the option to specialize in the weapon of
their choice and can explore older implements such as the Naginata, Katana,
Wakazashi, Tekki, Manriki Gusari, etc.
