As we step into 2025, we’re filled with gratitude for the connections we’ve shared and maintained during these challenging past years. Today, along with aspirations for health and growth, we’re embracing a small but meaningful change with the "A" in IGRAF now standing for "Aikijujutsu".
This change honors the history and lineage of the art, reflecting MOCHIZUKI Minoru Sensei's deep connection to both Aikido and Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu, through Ueshiba Morihei Sensei. Guided by WASHIZU Sensei's vision, it ensures the International Gyokushin Ryu Aikijujutsu Federation stays true to its roots while adapting to the needs of modern practitioners.
