The Martial Way
About
With the Martial Way, you will learn practical self-defense using the principles of Aikido as the foundation and incorporating the real-world application of Aikijutsu. Aikido is a Japanese martial art that uses a person’s weight, energy and momentum – along with take-downs, joint locks and pins – to neutralize the attack, and disarm and control the attacker. Aikijutsu is also a Japanese martial art and part of the family of jujutsu. It is a close combat self-defense system and includes strikes, throws, holds, and paralyzing counter attacks against an enemy. Our dojo brings the best of both worlds – the flow of Aikido and the crash of Aikijutsu. We combine the tradition and culture of an established martial art with contemporary situations and attacks of today to provide you with a fun and effective way to become more confident and self-assured.
We offer Aikido and Aikijutsu from Tuesdays through Saturdays for adults and kids 8 and up.
We are now also offering Wing Chun on Sundays and Wednesdays and Tai Chi on Mondays.
We are in Mount Ephraim, New Jersey which is centrally located and accessible through routes 42, 295, 130, 30 and the NJ Turnpike.
