International Combat Aikijujutsu Federation

Welcome to Your New Aikijujutsu Home

The International Combat Aikijujutsu Federation (ICAJF) proudly offers comprehensive training and advancement through Sentou-ryu Aikijujutsu – a modern, combative interpretation of classical Japanese Aikijujutsu systems. Whether you’re new to the art, seeking advancement, or no longer in contact with your former instructor or lineage, ICAJF is here to support your martial journey.

What is Sentou-ryu Aikijujutsu?

Sentou-ryu (戦闘流) translates to “Combat Style,” and is rooted in the pragmatic application of traditional Aikijujutsu for modern combative scenarios. Combining dynamic joint locks, throws, strikes, and tactical movement, Sentou-ryu is a complete martial system designed for effectiveness, adaptability, and discipline.
Training Includes:
  • 崩し (Kuzushi) – Balance breaking

  • 当て身 (Atemi) – Striking techniques

  • 投げ技 (Nage Waza) – Throwing techniques

  • 関節技 (Kansetsu Waza) – Joint locking techniques

  • 寝技 (Ne Waza) – Ground control and grappling

  • 短刀 & 木剣 (Tanto & Bokken) – Knife and wooden sword defense

  • 実戦型護身術 (Jissen-gata Goshinjutsu) – Scenario-based self-defense

  • 級 & 段の型・乱取り (Kyu & Dan no Kata / Randori) – Kata and sparring at kyu and dan levels

Advancement Opportunities

Whether you’re starting from white belt or seeking recognition for previous training, ICAJF offers:
  • Online and in-person training modules
  • Seminars and intensives (Spring Fling, Shochu Geiko, AikiFest)
  • Digital rank certification for remote students
  • Mentorship by high-ranking instructors
  • Instructor licensing and dojo affiliation programs

A Home for Displaced Aikijujutsuka

We understand that many sincere martial artists have experienced:
  • Relocated or closed dojos
  • Lost contact with original instructors
  • Abandonment or stagnation in their rank progress
 
ICAJF opens its doors to you. We believe that sincere practice, ethical conduct, and demonstrated skill should never go to waste. Through a respectful evaluation process, we:
  • Assess and recognize prior rank
  • Offer a path to resume or continue advancement
  • Provide guidance, affiliation, and community

Advancement Pathways

Students and members of the ICAJF are welcome to train and advance up to 四段 (YonDan / 4th Dan) within the Federation through structured instruction, evaluation, and mentorship. Advancement beyond YonDan, beginning with 五段 (GoDan / 5th Dan) and higher, training and advancement is conducted directly through the 本部 (Hombu / Headquarters) of 戦闘流合気柔術 (Sentou-ryu Aikijujutsu), under the supervision of the Kaiso and the governing authority of the system. This ensures that the highest levels of rank reflect the standards, spirit, and authenticity of the Sentou-ryu lineage.
