Aikijutsu, also known as Aikijujutsu, is a form of
self-defense. Daito-Ryu Aikijutsu was originally developed during feudal
times by the Takeda clan, in support of the Emperor. In modern times, the
best-known style of aikijutsu is that developed by Takeda Sokaku from
Daito-Ryu. This style was taught primarily to police officers and the
military, and was a central influence in Ueshiba Sensei's development of
Aikido.
