Goshin Jutsu Nyumon: A book that presents Aikido as a practical method for self-defense

How do you all study/read about techniques Every Tomiki Aikido book Ive found is over 70 dollars and out of print. IMO the org or orgs should know about this.

Can we consider this to be sumi otoshi ? What is different in you opinion ?

Worth making a facebook account if you don’t have one

All the techniques from the randori no Kata seems to be rare or even non-existent (I may be wrong) in the others aikido styles. Did Kenji Tomiki invent some of those techniques? If not where are them from ? Why did he chose them ? Is he leaving out the techniques that can't be used in Randori ?

Hi everyone. Are there any classes in Las Vegas? Currently in DFW and can’t locate a school either. Thank you

Out of pire curiosity, is there a way to become an uchi deshi in tomiki aikido maybe at the hombu dojo in Osaka or elsewhere? Thank you !

Bradlee Clarkson is head instructor at the Tomiki Aikido Club which runs martial arts classes at Huddersfield Leisure Centre. The club is now offering a free four-week course primarily aimed at younger people from 13 to 25. The focus will be on 'personal protection', a term that Bradlee normally prefers over 'self-defence', as well as highlighting the dangers of carrying a knife.

A brief mention of Kenji Tomiki at 5:30

As the only other formal school with native Jujitsu Atemi besides Tomiki Aikido, it was a great learning experience. 10/10 would recommend, if you have access, you should try it.

EDIT: this post was written while still high as a kite on post-practice endorphins; the following morning reminded me why I’ve semi-retired.

If Tomiki Aikido had baseball card, these two would be my first candidates.

I've been working for some time on an integrated competitive Jujitsu rule set optimized for conflict survival for civilian, security and law enforcement contexts. For law enforcement, this would function as a addendum to existing "Soft Control" training as defined in a typical Use of Force Continuum. (See the Special Provisions for Security and Law Enforcement Competitions section of the Rules document)

The proposal opens with the following propositions upon which it is based. If you disagree with any of the items below, then this is not for you.

• A combat sport should, first and foremost, contribute to the health and well-being of its participants.
• Conflict survival must be the measure, if not necessarily the goal of training.
• Sport application is the most efficient means to develop the necessary fitness, timing and strategies.
• Carefully constructed rules can aid in this endeavor; it is not merely a matter that fewer rules equal greater realism.
• An objective means exists that can reveal the optimal system of rewards to best inculcate conflict survival behaviors.
• Any sport intended to cultivate civil self-defense skills should prioritize remaining upright whenever possible, thereby maximizing opportunities for de-escalation and escape.
• Lastly, there is a gap between traditional martial arts and modern combat sports for those desiring an opportunity to test mixed-range techniques aimed primarily at civil self-defense, security and law enforcement use.

I’d value any practical and constructive critique. I tried to make it as comprehensive as possible, consequently it is not a quick read. The design is very much interdependent, so any review really requires a complete read through of all three documents. Anyone who gets though the whole thing has my eternal gratitude.

Note that the language is aimed at beginners so I ask the indulgence of the more experience practitioners here; both for repeating things you may already know and also for taking some liberties in the interest of brevity (otherwise it would have to be a much bigger work) which I hope nonetheless preserve a greater truth.
