Developed in the early 20th century by Morihei Ueshiba, known to his students as O-Sensei ("Great Teacher"), Aikido of North Jersey is based on centuries-old Samurai fighting techniques. O-Sensei is widely recognized as one of the greatest martial artists of all time. Aikido is distinct from other martial arts in that it seeks to subdue the attacker with minimal physical force. Its goal is to redirect and control aggression without injuring the attacker while still being effective.

Throughout history, Ronins were labeled as outcasts for going against social norms. When they would lose their Teacher/Master they were left with two options, Death or be labeled an outsider for the rest of your life. Many times this would force them to find new methods of training. They would study multiple styles to find what worked best for them. This led Ronins to often carrying more weapons than just the basic two swords. Despite being treated unfairly, being mocked, and being doubted many Ronins rose above the noise to become legendary figures that are still spoken of today. We believe in learning from multiple high level instructors, finding what works best for you, and adding it into your own personal style. Our instructors have been guided by the styles and teachings of Jamie Cruz (Cruz Control BJJ), Marcello Garcia, and Eddie Bravo’s 10th planet system.

For centuries, the island of Okinawa has been a center of trade and cultural exchange between China and Japan, making it a prime location for the practice of martial arts. Okinawans have had a long-standing tradition of martial arts, which can be traced back to the very beginnings of recorded history. This tradition is rooted in the merging of Chinese and Okinawan martial traditions, resulting in the birth of “kara te”, or roughly translated “Chinese hand”. Over time, the word “kara” was re-interpreted to mean “empty”, and the tradition of Chinese-influenced Okinawan empty-hand combat has continued and grown on the island.
