Komjyokai Aikijutsu International Martial Arts Academy - Tagum Chapter

urai of Feudal Japan. At Komjyokai Aikijutsu, students and teachers alike are considered as brothers/sisters under Christ, thus we are not only a martial art school but also a Christian Fellowship. As such, qualities such as service, integrity, patriotism, and justice are inculcated among members. Although we practice the ancient martial art of the Samurai, we do not however practice their entire tradition. The techniques are legitimate, having been passed down to our founder, GM Candawan, by a Japanese 4th degree blackbelt in Aikijutsu, albeit in secret- as part of their cultural exchange policies during the 1950s. But times have changed, and our techniques have adapted as well by incorporating various disarms against handguns and rifles and also teaching basic weapons training. About the Instructor:
