A modern complex martial art created by Alain Floquet in 1980 in France on the basis of three Japanese schools: Yoseikan Aikido, Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu and Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu (abbreviated as Katori Shinto Ryu).
Aikibudo, like its original components, is referred to as "hard" schools. Differences from the "soft" schools are manifested in the form of movements, which in Aikibudo as a whole are much shorter, simpler and more close to reality.
In France, Aikibudo is effectively used in the army and police. The main hall, where Alan Floquet's classes take place in Paris, is located in the Police Department and belongs to the Sports Association of the Police of Paris (FR: Association Sportive de la Police de Paris, ASPP)
Etymology
The name consists of four hieroglyphs with the following meanings:
Ay
"Harmony, unification, love, compassion";
Key
"Vital energy, spirit, strength";
Boo

Most often, Aikibudo is translated as: "The path of harmonious unification of the warrior spirit and vital energy", "Walk the military path in harmony with vital energy", "Cultivation of vital energy by combining compassion and militancy", "The spirit of love on the path of a warrior" or "The spirit of compassion on the path of a warrior. "
History
Aikibudo was founded on the basis of three martial arts schools: Yoseikan Aikido, Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu and Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto Ryu.
The Daito-ryu style was created in the 11th century by the master Minamoto no Yoshimitsu, an outstanding Japanese military leader. Towards the end of his life, he was appointed governor of Kai province, where one of his descendants founded the famous Takeda family, which actively created various martial techniques. Its most famous representative was the famous commander Takeda Shingen.
By the end of the 19th century (the last years of the Edo period), the era of bloody wars between the clans ended. Along with this, the process of disarming the samurai began. Then Lord Saigo Tanomo (1830 - 1903), the kannushi (the person in charge of the upkeep of the Shinto shrine) and the samurai decided to teach his techniques to non-members of his clan. One of them was Takeda Sokaku, who, returning to Aizu province, studied aiki-jutsu techniques from Master Tanomo. In 1898, he formalized the entire combat legacy and named it Daito Ryu Jujutsu, later renamed Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu, and, thanks to his outstanding skill, widely glorified him.
From 1920 to 1931, Takeda Sokaku taught his art to Morihei Ueshiba, who by 1942, based on his knowledge of Daito-ryu Aiki-jutsu, jujutsu and ken-jutsu, was creating a new martial art - Aikido. In 1931, Minoru Mochizuki came to study with Morihei Ueshiba, who later played a huge role in the popularization of aikido in France. In 1951 he was sent to Europe on an official cultural mission. For two and a half years, he introduced the Europeans to the art of his teacher and his own achievements, calling it "Aikido Jujutsu", thereby contributing to the development of the largest aikido community outside of Japan. Among his students was a young French judoka named Jim Alcheik, who in 1954 followed his teacher to the land of the rising sun and continued his studies at the Yoseikan dojo.
In 1958, Jim Alsheik, who returned from Japan, at the request of Minoru Mochizuki, officially showed Aikido Yoseikan in France and founded the French Federation of Aikido, Taijutsu and Kendo, FFATK. Alan Floquet (born in 1938) becomes one of his assistants. In 1962, during the war of independence of Algeria, Jim Alshaik is killed. To secure the future of aikido jujutsu in France, Alan Floquet contacts Minoru Mochizuki, who sends his son Hiroo to Paris. For two years Hiroo Mochizuki has been teaching Floka. In 1966, Alan was appointed technical director of the Yoseikan Aikido School in France. In 1973 he creates C.E.R.A. (French Center International de lAikibudo, "International Aikibudo Center").
In 1978, Master Minoru Mochizuki awarded Alan 7th dan and the title of Kyoshi, thereby recognizing his significant achievements.
In 1980, Alan Floke renewed relations with the basic school and with the heir of Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu Takeda Tokimune, the son of Takeda Sokaku. Based on his knowledge, his teaching style and practice in styles such as Yoseikan Aikido, Katori Shinto-ryu and Aiki-jujutsu, Alan, with the full support of Master Mochizuki, decides to create his own school and calls it "Aikibudo".
On July 3, 1983, aikibudo merges with aikido to form the French Federation of Aikido, Aikibudo and Analogs as a joint discipline. Since then, thanks to the efforts of the master Alan Floquet, this art continues to develop all over the world.
Philosophy
Aikibudo is a martial art that incorporates the teachings of the ancient Japanese schools of martial arts. The philosophy of this combat system, as the name suggests, is a search for the meaning of being by the method of self-improvement and knowledge based on the comprehension of martial art. As in many other schools of martial arts in Aikibudo, the principle of Aiki is applied - the unification of energies, the unification of a person's inner abilities to achieve perfection.
In Aikibudo, there are many movements aimed at getting ahead of the enemy, the purpose of which is to stop a strike or capture at its first stage, when he has not yet gained maximum power.
Respect for the integrity of the partner is a central principle in the art of Aikibudo.
Both the attacker and the defender are referred to as "partners" and not "opponents". During the development of techniques, the participants (the attacker - tori, the defender - uke) constantly change roles, due to which there is no such thing as a winner and a loser in the classroom, and, accordingly, there is no competition. Nevertheless, there are randori (classic sparring) in Aikibudo, which allow free sparring to practice techniques, test skills and develop combat reflexes.
Belts and ranks
Depending on the qualifications of aikibudoka, it may be awarded an apprentice (kyu) or master (dan) degree.
There are 6 kyu in total in Aikibudo: the lowest level is the 6th kyu, the oldest is the 1st kyu.
Mostly white and black belts (obi) are used, but there may be differences depending on the country and the aikibudo federation. The wearing of a black belt and hakama is only allowed for owners of 1st dan and above.
Increasing the rank is possible by passing specialized tests. There is a program of required technical skills for each of the degrees, approved by the International Federation of Aikibudo. Some clubs add their own disciplines to the standard requirements. The new degree is awarded by the certification committee conducting the exam. Students who have received a black belt are called yudansha.
The basic aikibudo technique includes the following sections:
Etiquette and greetings

In the book of Alan Floquet "Aikibudo", this name is used not only as a designation of the school, but also very narrowly - as the name of the section of the same name. There is also a wide use of the word Aiki-jutsu as a synonym, that is, in relation to the Daito-ryu school as well, but not in relation to the aikido schools (with the explanation that although the word aikibudo, in France, aikido is also often called, like the use of the term is incorrect).
- a modern martial art that has absorbed thousands of years of experience in the martial traditions of Japan. Aikibudo is a delicate and precise art; basically, in its expression and in its development, it rests on two inextricably linked elements - tradition and evolution.
Developed by Maitre Alan Floquet (France), curated in Russia by Sensei Paul-Patrick Armand.
The name consists of four hieroglyphs with the following meanings:
- Ay (Japanese 合 Ai) - "harmony, union, love, compassion";
- Ki (Japanese 気 Ki) - "vital energy, spirit, strength";
- Boo (Japanese 武 Bu) - "courage, bravery, belligerence";
- Before (jap. 道 Dō) - "way, way, go".
Often Aikibudo translate as: "The path of harmonious unification of the warrior spirit and vital energy", "Walk the military path in harmony with life energy", "Cultivating life energy by combining compassion and militancy", "The spirit of love on the path of the warrior" or "The spirit of compassion on the path of the warrior ".
Conducted by a Member of the IFA (Interregional Federation of Aikibudo), FIAB (Federation International d'Aikibudo) since 2004, working with children, including those with developmental disabilities. Participant of international seminars and trainings held in Russia, Japan, France, Poland Plakhota Mikhail Valerievich.
The technical program of Aikibudo is based on the techniques of the 3 traditional budo of Japan:
1) Yoseikan - the teacher of Minoru Mochizuki- student of Jigoro Kano (Kodokan Ju-do) and Morihei Ueshiba (founder of Aikido).
The technique is based on the old principle of jujutsu ‘softness overcomes rigidity’, and
'Softness' as a teacher rationality that allows the weaker to borrow strength from
A stronger adversary, just like ‘water flows from the top of a mountain to its foot’.
Yoseikan training begins with the basic elements: various options of ukemi - belay for
falls, tekhodoka - liberation from various grips, which later serve as the basis
for various throws and painful holds, and taisabaki - maneuvering techniques.
resistance to attacks of various types: throws, blows, painful and chokeholds.
First, techniques are practiced in the tactical version of go-no sen - when the enemy's attack is already
formed, the student defends himself and responds with a counterattack. The next step is to study the technique
sen no sen - getting ahead of the enemy.
2) Katori (Tenshin Seden Katori Shitno Ryu) - school of fencing and strategy. Created over 600 years
back at Katori Jingu Shrine. Has the status of a national cultural heritage of Japan.
Fencing classes allow you to hone the student's reflexes, develop a sense of distance and
time, ability to concentrate. This approach to teaching enables the follower
schools not only to master the necessary techniques, but also gradually to develop the qualities,
necessary to win the battle. At the IPA, Katori is studied and practiced according to the Sugino Sensei school.
3) Daito-ryu Aiki Jujutsu- an ancient military (samurai) tradition, can be traced back to
11th century (General Minomoto Yoshimitsu - Takeda family), aimed at the most effective
methods of strikes, grabs and painful techniques, using knowledge of human anatomy and
impact on pain points (atemi)
Aikibudo techniques and practices are used by special units of the gendarmerie police in France. Both Maitre Alan Floquet and Sensei Paul-Patrick Armand are former high-ranking police officers. Maitre Alan Floquet has written several books on traditional Budo and the use of Aikibudo techniques in self-defense (women, children).
Three higher educations, one of which is the Russian State University of Physical Education. : 5th dan Aikibudo, 3rd dan Katori Shinto Ryu. Has been teaching martial arts since 1993. One of the best Aikibudo instructors in our country and beyond.
Aikibudo is a modern martial art that incorporates thousands of years of experience in the martial traditions of Japan. Aikibudo is a delicate and precise art; basically, in its expression and in its development, it rests on two inextricably linked elements - tradition and evolution. Tradition can be seen as the source and historical basis of the entire modern system of occupation. The tradition is based on ancient art, the content, form and spirit of which must be preserved unchanged. Evolution is the expression of a martial art in development and in relation to real-life experience and the environment.
The history of the creation of Aikibudo is inextricably linked with the name of the outstanding French Master of Budo Alan Floquet.
Alan Floquet is one of the best European students of Sensei Minoru Mochizuki. In 1966, Alan Floquet became the technical director of the Yoseikan Aikido School in France. In 1973, he and his students created CERA (Cercle d`Etude de Recherche en Aiki et Kobudo - Circle of Study and Research of Aiki and Kobudo) with the aim of facilitating the development of the concept of aikijutsu by Sensei Minoru Mochizuki. In 1978, Minoru Mochizuki, Director of the Aikido Section of the IMAF - International Martial Arts Federation in Tokyo, awarded Master Alan Floke a 7th Dan and a Kyoshi degree, making him his direct representative as Aikido Master in Europe.
Which includes hand-to-hand combat and fencing. It was created by Frenchman Alan Floquet in 1980. Floquet took three schools as a basis:, and. An interesting fact is that the word "aiki-budo" itself is used not only as the name of the school, but also in a narrower concept - as the name of a section of the school, and there is also a broad definition - as a synonym for the word Aiki-jutsu - that is, with regards to also schools, but not in relation to schools. A bit confusing, isn't it? At the same time, the article of the French Wikipedia also interprets this term ambiguously, referring it not only to the Floquet school, but also to.
One of the activities of the school is to expand the technical arsenal for military tasks, special services and the police. Aikibudo is an extremely effective martial art. They are engaged in it without the slightest indulgence towards themselves and partners, but also without expressed cruelty. Contrary to popular belief, the term "Boo" does not mean "war" but "peacekeeping force." Ay - harmony, unification, love, compassion. Ki - the energy of life, spirit, strength. Boo - courage, bravery, belligerence. Do - way, road, go. Accordingly, several translation options can be defined: "The path of harmonious unification of the warrior spirit and vital energy", "Walk the military path in harmony with vital energy", "Cultivation of vital energy by combining compassion and militancy", "The spirit of love on the path of a warrior", " A spirit of compassion on the path of a warrior. "
Alan Floquet
The section of the school with the same name is based on and, and the section is based on, from which (including wraparound fencing), and shuriken-jutsu are borrowed. Alan Floke himself studied under the masters: Sugino Yosho (menkyo kaiden shihan kawazaki Katori Shinto Ryu), Mochizuki Minoru (hanshi, 8-dan shizuoka Katori Shinto Ryu, menkyo, 10th dan, meijin Yoseikan) and Takeda and 2nd heir to Daito-ryu). These names speak not only of the highest skill of his teachers, but also of the direct transmission in the tradition of these schools.
The fundamental basic technique of Aikibudo consists of the following sections:
1. Displacement ( Tai Sabaki), inputs and unbalance.
2. Insurance ( Ukemi).
3. Technique of attack - technique of punches (Tsuki waza) and kicks (Gary waza); blows are studied separately and in the form of small kata.
4. Basic exercises (Hojo undo) - breathing and energy exercises performed in pairs, correct body work.
5. Technique of release from grips ( Tae Walkers).
6. The technique of throws due to the strength of the partner ( Wa ho seishin- divine energy; is somewhat similar to Kokyu Nage in aikido).
7. Basic throwing technique ( Kihon Nage Waza) consists of seven techniques, demonstrated by partners alternately from different hands and strictly along the line - in the form of a kata.
8. Basic techniques of control and retention ( Kihon Osae Waza) consists of six techniques performed alternately in the form of a paired kata. The partner falls to the floor, the hold is fixed, which is performed exclusively with the legs with the designation of the final blow.
9. Technique of the Daito-ryu school. Paired kata of ten elements Ikaze Idori... It is performed on your knees ( Suvari Waza). The first dan program includes half (the first 5 elements) of this kata.
10. Additional equipment. Receptions Usiro Kata Otoshi, Ura Ude Nage, "Robuse tenkan" must be able to perform from all attacks with different forms of entry.
11. Randori. Randori in Aikibudo is any job where the attack and technique from her is chosen at random. There are different forms of randori in this martial art. But the main ones are: soft work to consolidate the forms of the basic technique ( Fu Ho Randori); entrances and unbalancing (from one, two or three attackers); real randori or simply randori(usually a small number of short techniques, practiced at high speed and concentration); work from hard grips.
12. Initial exercises with weapons in the Katori Shinto Ryu school.
In 1983, Aikibudo merged with Aikido to form the French Federation of Aikido, Aikibudo and Analogs (F.F.A.A.A.) as a general discipline. Since then, thanks to the work of the master Alan Floquet, this art has been developing all over the world and everywhere it finds more and more admirers. Without abandoning its roots in, Aikibudo goes beyond the usual technical practice.
