Aiki principles are essential to perform traditional Jujutsu. Training consists of four main principles after acquiring “Tanden Kakusei Kokyu Ho” which are breathing exercises for the internal development of the abdomen.  “Cho Fu” is the basic principal for neutralising the initial attack from the aggressor by using tension. “Ju Ho” directs gravity to break the balance of the opponent rather than strength. “En Geki” and “Setsu Ko” apply circular counterattacks and leverage to finally subdue the opponent. These four Aiki principles are unique to Kishinjuku. They will be learnt and refined through each grade.
