Move People Without Force
Minimal form, maximum clarity.
Aikijutsu teaches you how to guide instinct, control conflict, and move with calm precision — without relying on strength, speed, or aggression.
Calm, precise movement that works the moment you connect — without force.
Aikijutsu
The art of applying the principle of aiki.
WHAT IS AIKIJUTSU?.
Aikijutsu is a calm, modern, practical martial art built on posture, timing, and contact. It’s not choreography or performance — it’s movement that works the moment you connect.
Aiki isn't force.
It's connection.

why this matters
Most people don’t want to fight — they want to feel calm, capable, and in control.

Head Instructor
Darren Edwards
Darren has over 35 years of experience in Aikijutsu.
He began training in 1990 under Yoshiaki Unno Sensei, the Australian representative of Minoru Mochizuki, founder of Yoseikan in Shizuoka, Japan. Darren remained Unno Sensei’s longest‑serving student until his passing in 2006.
Today, Darren trains under Jan Janssens, 9th Dan Kyoshi and Head of Kobukai International Budo. Janssens Sensei was also a direct student of Minoru Mochizuki, continuing the same principle‑driven Aiki that shapes how we teach here.
What this means for you: You’re learning from someone deeply connected to the source — but who teaches with clarity and humility.
The core principles
of Aikijutsu
Once you’ve felt the basics, these principles make everything click.
What you'll feel in the first session...
calm and supported
Aikijutsu is principle‑based and experiential. You’ll feel how posture changes everything. How contact guides movement. How calmness becomes influence. How small adjustments break structure.
People are often surprised by how quickly they feel the principles working.

Try it. Feel it. No pressure.
Your first session is all about getting comfortable — with the space, the people, and your own body. Don't be too hard on yourself, anything new takes a bit of getting used to.
We’ll guide you step by step
No expectations. No experience needed. Just clear, simple guidance so you can feel what Aikijutsu is really about.
A calm, welcoming vibe
You’ll be greeted, shown around, and eased into the basics. Nothing intense. Nothing intimidating.
