Midori Yama Jujutsu is based on Kodokan Judo, Daito Ryu Jujutsu, and Aiki Jujutsu. At it’s core, our program tends more toward the self-defense as opposed to competitive Jujutsu. Aiki Jujutsu as interpreted by Leo D. Wilson, Shihan (founder of our system in 1964) encompasses striking skills from Karate as well as the throws, chokes, and joint manipulations of Aiki Jujitsu. The result is a solid striking and grappling system for self-defense.
