What Aikijutsu Is


Aikijutsu is a Japanese martial art based on timing, balance, and connection. Instead of relying on strength or speed, it teaches you how to move with clarity and intent. 

 There’s no sparring, no competition, and no pressure to perform. Just calm, principle‑first learning that focuses on awareness, balance, and how to respond without conflict.

Why People do Aikijutsu


Aikijutsu resonates with people who want: 

 a calmer way to learn self‑defence movement that feels natural, not aggressive 

 training that builds confidence without intensity a supportive, 

beginner‑friendly environment 

 a practice that improves focus, balance, and awareness 

 It’s self‑defence for people who don’t want to fight.


Who is this for?


Aikijutsu is ideal if you’re: 

 new to martial arts

looking for a safe, respectful place to learn

wanting to build confidence without pressure 

 interested in principle‑based movement 

 seeking a community that values calm, clarity, and care 


 You don’t need fitness, flexibility, or experience — just curiosity.

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.
