EXPLORING THE THREAD BETWEEN AIKIDO & BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU

On Aikido

Training in aikido removes the competitive focus in the study of the discipline. The aikido training focuses on different aspects: movement on your feet, deflecting an attack or aggression, redirecting a negative energy, providing a different perspective. A deflection or redirection of energy does not necessarily mean defeat; rather, it is a practice of self-preservation and assertiveness.

Ray’s focus is to discover the common thread and/or principles of Filipino Martial Arts and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Aikido. While many enjoy the competitive aspect of martial arts, one should bear in mind that not all techniques are applicable on the street. 

Maru Dojo's BJJ is a member of  Roy Dean's The Affiliates.  Ray's focus is to explore the connection with Aikido and Brazilian-Jiu-Jitsu.
