Gendai Aikido

Information may not be reliable

Gendai Aikido is a modern approach to Traditional Aikido. Gendai Aikidoapplies elements of Ju-Jitsu and striking skills used in Karate, Tae Kwon Do, and Muay Thai. In Japanese the word for modern is Gendai. The Gendai approach to the Martial Art based on circles is more of a straight forward one. In Traditional Aikido you redirect or throw the uke/attacker. This is a good start but is very open ended because it allows the attacker to get back up and try again. Only this time his anger level has increased drastically. In Gendai Aikido when you are confronted with an attacker you not only throw the attacker down you immediately follow up with a submission move or a lock on the ground/mat. This will make the attacker a little morereluctant or unable to try you again.

These are a few of the many locks and submissions used in Gendai Aikido.

Weapon DisarmingTraditional Aikido teaches you how to defend against a Katana (long sword), Bo (long staff), and Jo (short staff). These are old world weapons which are not carried today. When was the last time you ran into someone at the grocery store who was carrying a sword? I didnt think so. Guns and knives are the weapons of choice today. They are easy to carry and conceal. For this reason we train todisarm these weapons.

In Gendai Aikido you will learn how to disarm and defend against modern
day weapons like; handguns, knives, baseball bats, and shotguns.
