Training Body and Mind
Aoki Dojo is a martial arts school located in Spring, Texas. Affiliated with USGRAF, we teach from the lineage of
MOCHIZUKI Minoru Sensei & his successor WASHIZU Sensei.
Gyokushin Ryu Aikijujutsu is a comprehensive martial art dedicated to the preservation and continuation of the teachings of MOCHIZUKI Minoru, the founder of the Yoseikan style.
The essence of Gyokushin Ryu is based on a synthesis of many Japanese Budo (Nihon Sogo Budo) such as AIKIDO, JUDO, KARATE and KENJUTSU. Gyokushin Ryu is characterized by a variety of sacrificial techniques (sutemi) in addition to joint locks, foot sweeps, hip throws, and grappling.

“The name of our tradition is the Gyokushin Ryu. The name is written with characters meaning ‘spherical spirit.’ A ball will roll freely. No matter which side it is pushed from it will roll away. Just this sort of spirit is the true spirit that Gyokushin Ryu seeks to instill in its members. If you have done this, nothing in this world can upset you.”
-OSHIMA Sanjuro
(Minoru MOCHIZUKI's Gyokushin teacher)
