Aikijutsu, or the art of blending with energy is a way of
approaching, not only open hand techniques, but all forms of
weapons and combinations of these. Students begin with
open hand as that is the most immediately practical, but the
forms learned at this level art simply the central core to an
ever evolving system.
This system represents the Do or Tao of the School and is
known as the Shin Bugei Aiki Hyaku Pan Do (New
Warriors' Way of the Hundred Aiki Arts)
It is the duty of every Bushi (warrior) to be skilled not
only in existing Bujutsu (martial arts) but also in the
development of new forms of tactics in Tanjutsu (weapons skills
and battle strategy)
Thus the term Bugei Hyaku Pan (warriors' hundred arts)
represents infinite knowledge of martial arts
This is one of the purposes of Aiki Ten Shin Sho Kai and
Aikijutsu is paramount not only to the linking, but also the
understanding of the other arts within the School.
