Aiki Budo Center
Our Expression of Budo
Welcome to a unique expression of Budo, or a martial way. Shisei Ryu Aikibudo is built on very solid foundations. We utilize core concepts and techniques, which will be of great value to you in the form of personal improvement, self-defense, and the simple enjoyment of learning in an atmosphere of mutual welfare and benefit. We offer practical, well-grounded, modern Aikibudo training at Port St. Lucie, FL that is rooted in traditional Budo or the "martial path” – a path that leads back to Japan, where Budo began.
The Art of Aiki Budo
Aikibudo is based on concepts, techniques, and strategies from Karate-do, Judo, and Tomiki Ryu (non-competitive) Aikido. Our teachings and techniques do not "water down" any of these foundations, but instead implement each "in its own time", by creating a firm, intuitive base in Kihon, or basic techniques. The practice and mastery of Kihon is essential to all advanced training in any form of Budo, as well as the ability to intuitively apply and live the art.
Our practice at Shisei Ryu Aikibuo does not exclude anything valid and of utility, nor does it opt for superfluous techniques. We are very direct and pragmatic in our approach and focus. We also utilize Bokken or Bokuto (wooden sword), Jo (wooden staff), Hanbo (half-staff), Tessen (iron fan), and Jutte (sword-like steel weapon) for training, as included in our syllabus. Many of the kata we utilize are common to both Koryu and Gendai forms of Budo. Kata is an essential partner to Randori training with one complementing the other, as well as preserving the "DNA" and essence of the art.
