Discover why Wally Jay is known as a master who can perform ju-jutsu with effortless grace with techniques that approach an aiki-type of application. Discover how Prof. Jay uses his own investigations to constantly upgrade and modify traditional techniques so that they cease to look traditional.
Bruce Lee and ju-jutsu? Learn how Joe COWLES, a Seattle student of Bruce Lee, teaches his WU WEI Gung-fu, a hard/soft system with added ju-jutsu techniques. Cowles' Wu Wei was a strong influence on one level of Takeshin Seiken Budo (see our Secrets of Seiken Budo videos). Cowles is masterful in lightening-fast execution of in-close techniques. (120 min.)

A perfect video for karate-ka who want a introduction to the forms of aiki. Maroteaux has picture-perfect form and receives attacks with powerful blocks before snapping on his aiki-ju-jutsu waza.

Don AngierNINE MASTERS 3: Soke Don Angier — Inheritor of
YANAGI RYU

Soke Angier's art is from the Yoshida clan—a family art that contains Aiki, Ken-jutsu, and Hojo-jutsu (binding arts). Experience detailed Aiki with additional bonus of Ken-jutsu etiquette and waza. Soke Angier puts little or no effort in his waza; instead, all his effort has been put into perfecting its soft but effective execution. In this video, he teaches you how to do the same with basic techniques from Yanagi-ryu. At first, they appear to be like many aiki-styles; however, perfecting their effortless execution make them a true challenge to experienced aiki practitioners.(120 min.)

American MastersNINE MASTERS 4: American Masters of 5 Aiki Arts

Don ANGIER, Yanagi Ryu; Dennis PALUMBO, Hakkoryu; Tony ANNESI, Takeshin Sogo Budo; Henri-Robert. VILAIRE, Kaze Arashi Ryu; Miguel IBARRA & Roy GOLDBERG, Icho-yama Ryu span the range from hard to soft with instructional methods from technical imitation to detailed explanation. With Master Vilaire you will use kempo-like blocks to enter into powerful and painful waza. With Sensei Ibarra and Goldberg you use pain but over a shorter range of motion. Sandai-kichu Palumbo offers you more conservative technique explained with detail and humor. Shihan Annesi instructs you in his minimal motion waza with lucid explanations. Soke Angier, the most senior and probably the most skilled Aiki practitioner in the country, treats you to nearly invisible execution. There is no better video available today to sample the array of aiki-ju-jutsu styles and emphases. (120 min.)

The Principles of Aiki

Principles of Aiki 2Principles of Aiki 1THE PRINCIPLES OF AIKI (Part I & 2)

Tired of having haphazard success with your throwing and locking? It may be because you are imitating your teacher's good form without understanding what makes that form work. Soke Don ANGIER and Shihan Tony ANNESI take form a step further. Form, Annesi argues, is a way of "tricking" a student into doing something right. It is a classical shape that illustrates an underlying principle. If you don't understand the principle, you'll be locked into a form without meaning. Many aiki students have good form but produce varying success in their throwing and locking. YOU MAY BE ONE OF THEM. By mastering the principles underlying the forms, you can find technical success even when using dramatically different technical forms. Style is less important than principle. The rational West can sometimes explain more clearly what the intuitive East has discovered. Once you know the principles on which a technique is based, you can easily make adjustments in your own methods and see validity in others. Experience the rush of revelation you will get once mastering TRIANGULATION, BACK PRESSURE, COMMUTIVE LOCKING and a dozen others! There has never been another video series like The Principles of Aiki! TOTALLY UNIQUE! (2 DVDs, 4 hours) ASIAN MARTIAL ARTISTRY with WESTERN ANALYSIS!

Aiki for the Streets 2Aiki for the Streets 1AIKI for the STREETS

With Miguel Ibarra (Daito-ryu Yamabushi-kai) & Tony Annesi (Takeshin Aiki-ju-jutsu). Do you find that your traditional aiki art emphasizes defenses against wrist and lapel holds that are more theoretical than practical? On the streets, a grab is followed rapidly by a punch. A body hold proceeds from the rear so someone else can strike! This 2-part video set illustrates defenses to both strikes and rear seizures. Included are techniques that have been tested in actual arrests (Sensei Ibarra is a New York warrant officer) as well as techniques that illustrate theoretical but practical training in minimal motion aiki.

Comparative Aiki in Action

10+ years research went into this material. Those interested in functional aikido and aiki-ju-jutsu, are considering adopting some concepts of aiki into their own styles. With a new proliferation of information, Aiki-based martial artists are coming out of their stylistic cocoons and are interested in comparisons between teaching methods...

...Enter Comparative Aiki in Action.

Comparative Aiki in Action 1COMPARATIVE AIKI IN ACTION (Part I)

Different technical points of view of standard aiki techniques. Preliminaries and 15 Ikkyo with evaluations of efficacy.
What makes one version of a technique more or less functional than another? Tony Annesi suggests that there are no superior styles, rather various technical methods work best in various situations. This may not seem like a grand revelation, but to martial artists who often want to believe that their style addresses all situations better than any other style, that admission is at least refreshing if not downright iconoclastic.

Comparative Aiki in Action 2COMPARATIVE
AIKI IN ACTION (Part II)

15 Nikyo, 9 Sankyo with evaluations of efficacy. Annesi admits that his choice of variations are not complete, and his evaluations are not sacrosanct, but he also suggests that without an honest attempt at an objective investigation of methods, we will never really know what works best for us, what works best in what situation, nor will we understand the difference between an excellent training technique and one meant for actually application. (90 min.)

Comparative Aiki in Action 3COMPARATIVE AIKI IN ACTION (Part III)

8 Yonkyo, 13 Kote Gaeshi. Evaluations of efficacy from Tony Annesi. Among the least streetworthy techniques is yonkyo, yet it is also among the most painful. How can this be? Among the most used techniques in self-defense is Kote Gaeshi, but it also has some of the most elongated and indirect entries. How can it be functional if it takes so long to apply? That depends on one's intended use and the situation of the moment. (90 min.)

7 Katate Osae; 4 directions and 6 irimi entries for Shiho Nage with evaluations of efficacy. Shihan Tony Annesi not only shows the Four Direction Throw to all compass points, he also evaluates various commonly used entries. Katate Osae (single hand press) is a technique in itself but can also be used as an excellent transition technique to Shiho Nage. (120 min.)

11 finishes for Shiho Nage; 4 set-ups, 11 variations of Te Hana (inverted Kote Gaeshi). Shihan Tony Annesi illustrates methods to terminate the popular 4 Direction Throw even when one has failed to properly off-balance the uke. The inverted version of Kote Gaeshi makes a total of 25 variations for this much used waza. We strongly suggest purchasing A-10 and A-11 together for a complete picture of both Kote Gaeshi and Shiho Nage. (90 min.)

Methods on the Edge of Aiki Plus

Aiki Large and SmallAIKI, LARGE & SMALL

Are you doing a true Aiki? Or an Aiki by name only? Tony Annesi (Takeshin Aiki-ju-jutsu) demonstrates various methods of applying techniques identifiable as aiki, from large and fluid to medial circle to near invisible minimal motion. "Aiki," as often used by Daito practitioners, is more than ju-jutsu with a hakama, more than hard aikido, more than even an historical link to the parent art; "Aiki" is tori's minimal motion with uke's unwilling maximal compliance. Commentaries and discussions by Roy Goldberg (Daito-ryu Kodo-kai).

3 Levels of AikiTHE THREE LEVELS OF AIKI

What "level" of Aiki skill is emphasized by your system? Tony Annesi (Takeshin Aiki-ju-jutsu) demonstrates ju-jutsu, ju-jutsu with an aiki format, aiki-ju-jutsu, and the rarely seen and difficult level known as "aiki." Most ju-jutsu students have a hard, fast and very effective form of self-defense. Then, to become more efficient, they investigate aikido or aiki-jujutsu. What they often end up with is either ju-jutsu that looks like aikido or a large, fluid, and less effective method. Both ju-jutsu and aikido can be both effective and soft, both fluid and efficient if you are aware of the levels of development outlined in this video. Commentaries and discussions by Roy Goldberg (Daito-ryu Kodo-kai).

Edge of AikiTHE EDGE OF AIKI

Tony Annesi (Takeshin Aiki-ju-jutsu) demonstrates the many forms that Aiki variations can take. Annesi reveals three categories of variations: Simple Variations, Contraction (illustrated by Minimal Motion techniques), and Expansion (illustrated by coiling or entangling technique). This fast moving, action-packed video explains how you can make one technique become hundreds with variations on the Edge of Aiki. Commentaries and discussions by Roy Goldberg (Daito-ryu Kodo-kai). 90 min.

Aiki Hard and SoftAIKI, HARD & SOFT

You know the difference between a hard and soft art, right? Now you can understand the subtleties of hard and soft within your own art! Does hard and soft refer to your effort or your effects on the receiver? Does hard and soft refer to striking or not-striking or the type of energy used? Rather than offering a pat solution, Tony Annesi (Takeshin Aiki Ju-jutsu) suggests fascinating options to consider. More variation exists even in the Aiki arts than Hard & Soft can accurately encompass. 90 min.

The AIKI of KARATE: Tensho, Hakucho, Papuren

Tensho, Hakucho, Papuren 1Tensho, Hakucho, Papuren 2Many karate arts claim to start hard and develop soft skills at an advanced level. What turns out to be soft instruction (if any) is a few lessons in joint locks that has little or nothing to do with traditional kata. This double-video set is a unique approach to three traditional kata from Goju and White Crane that are overtly sought but seldom studied for the oyo (applications).
You will learn each form, its stances and individual hand techniques and then Master Instructor Annesi will add "the Takeshin element" before revealing dozens of applications, some direct, but most subtle, fluid, and using energy that is somewhere between internal Chinese martial arts and traditional Japanese aiki.

SECRET STRIKES

Most ju-jutsu and aiki practitioners know that are are suki (openings or weak points) into which one can slip a strike. Few realize, however, that the shape of the technique itself can provide one or more strikes that add a potential hard element of aiki's notable softness.  Learn about SUKI, STRIKING BY SHAPE, and SHAPING THE STRIKE so you can use the full range of aiki's arsenal for self-defense.
