Hakkoryu Ju-Jitsu

I'm no expert, but my understanding is that Hakkoryu is indeed along the lines of Aikijujitsu. It's a reasonably well known art and I would think that you'll be well-served if you find a good instructor.

Note that there are some books available on it, e.g. those by Dennis Palumbo.

I just so happen to be a student of this art and can attest that it is a very good art with extremely painful locks. It came from daitoryu aikijujutsu and was started shortly before world war 2. It is so similar that our dojo teaches both arts.

Hakko ryu is a very humane art and although the locks are very painful they usually cause no severe damage. It focuses on jujutsu, aiki, and koho shiatsu.

If you would like to find some history on the art or learn where you can take classes you can goto www.hakkoryu.com

I would highly suggest this art to anyone
