Style
Apart from the overriding requirements of safe and insured practice, and that the arts studied are related historically and stylistically to mainstream Aikido, a guiding principle of the Federation is the exchange of knowledge with a wide spectrum of practioners. We have had and continue to have in many cases, close links with a large group of Hakko-Ryu Aiki-Jutsuka, a thriving Katori Shinto Ryu group, Tomiki stylists, Aiki Goshin Do stylists, Kaze Arashi Ryu stylists, Ryoi Shinto Ryu stylists, Daito Ryu stylists and others. We feel that we are unique in our attitude and that the encouragement of research is unquestionably in the spirit of O-Sensei Morihei Uyeshiba.
