Aam-Ka-Jutsu
The phrase Aam-Ka-Jutsu tanslates as follows, Aam stands for American, Ka stands for
Karate, and Jutsu stands for art or science. Therefore; Aam-Ka-Jutsu could be portrayed
as the American Karate Art, or the science of American Karate. A-K-J derives techniques
and strategies from the major old styles of: Karate, Judo, Tae Kwon Do, Arnis, Aikido,
JuJutsu, Kung Fu, Tai Chi and weapons. A-K-J adapts their principles and ideologies to
conform to the needs of the American practitioner. They include, both, soft and hard styles
of martial arts. Soft styles generally involve high mobile stances and rely on circular
movements of the body to control an attacker. Learning to flow with, and overcome an
attacker’s energy is a must for the soft stylist. Hard styles generally involve low rooted
stances for a strong foundation. Quick and devastating linear strikes are a trademark of
hard styles.
A-K-J involves everything from grappling to aerial techniques. A-K-J is the practical
application of these techniques and strategies for their intended purpose of self-
protection. The results of applying an A-K-J technique and/or strategy to an opponent may
range from, restraining to maiming to lethal. A-K-J is truly a complete self-defense system.
A-K-J is what the Japanese refer to as “BuJutsu”. BuJutsu is the method or system a
student chooses, when they learn the techniques and strategies of self-protection. A-K-J is
the studying or analyzing of what one practices. It involves, taking a technique apart and
then putting it back together again. Through this process a student will have a better
understanding of how it works.
A-K-J is what one practices. It is the exercises and drills used to learn self-defense.
A-K-J is the perfection of a technique or strategy, so that it becomes an effective,
instinctive and reflexive action.
A-K-J is the martial art.
A-K-J is unlike many other martial arts. Practitioners of other styles of martial arts rely on
techniques that have been the same for hundreds of years. The idea of, thats the way it
was and thats the way it is, is archaic. Most traditional martial artists are uncompromising
in their approach to teaching their students. When there is a more effective and realistic
way to accomplish a task, it should be done. Just think, where would we be today if the
medical field stop searching for answers just 30 years ago.
The simplicity of A-K-J allows for a student to learn and progress quickly. Starting from
their first day. A-K-J is a progressive style of martial art, it evolves continuously.
