Goshu-ryu Aiki Jujutsu:
The Self Defence Martial Art.
Elevate your self-defence game today.
Aikido, a Budo created by Morihei Ueshiba, was influenced by his learning of Daito-ryu Aiki Jujutsu from Sokaku Takeda, incorporating distinctive circular and turning motions. Gozo Shioda founded Yoshinkan Aikido, emphasizing Aiki Jujutsu techniques with intense application. Mori Sensei, a direct disciple of Gozo Shioda, introduced Yoshinkan Aikido to Australia, later renaming it Goshu-ryu Aiki Jujutsu to honor its origins.
Aiki jujutsu dates back over 900 years, originating in the Heian period. Samurai warriors developed this martial art to overcome enemy soldiers clad in armour.
In time, Daito-Ryu evolved into a sophisticated system, focusing on joint locks, throws, and strikes. Aiki Jujutsu's effectiveness depends on the practitioner's skill, training intensity, and adaptability. Practical application and regular, realistic training are crucial for developing effective self-defence capabilities.

Michiharu Mori Sensei
8th Dan
As the last Uchi Deshi of the late Master Gozo Shioda, my story starts by recapturing some of the great memories I experienced at Honbu Dojo during my nine year instruction under the great man, who was considered the last of the true Japanese Budo martial artists. He was a genius, who earned his 9th dan grading from O Sensei, the founder of Aikido.
I opened my dojo "Aikido Yoshinkan Brisbane Dojo" in July 1995 with succeeding the Japanese Budo tradition and culture in mind, and of course to honour Master Shioda's spirit. Since the day I opened my dojo, I devoted myself in teaching this art to Australians and as I did so, my knowledge in the art got deepened. Many Australian students were strong-built and I had to amend and improve my techniques to convince them with the power of Aiki. I developed my own style to suit the need of skills in this modern age and now it is called 'Goshu-ryu Aiki Jujutsu.' The techniques of Goshu-ryu Aiki Jujutsu are useful in the real world which are quick and powerful. I am proud of my dojo and its students for they can contribute positively to a better community and more harmonious society.
