AIBUDO HISTORY

Dennis Wisslers was training in Bojuka Ryu in Indiana. Around the time that he received his 2nd degree Black Belt, he was informed by his sensei that Bojuka Ryu, as a system, was no longer existent. No one was to continue the system as it was. Mr. Wissler was put into a bad position since he had been teaching Bojuka Ryu in Cambridge City, Indiana. Not knowing what to do, he found an add for IKSA and sent in for more information. On August 1985, he chartered his school with them and this allowed for Aibudo to come about and grow. Since then he has added and deleted techniques based on their usability. The training is supposed to make a student effective after training for only a few weeks. Though Bojuka Ryu is the basic foundation most stances, postures, and techniques have been altered and look different. They have been changed to be a more relaxed for Aibudo believes that patience beats brute force.
