Aiki Kenpo Ju Jutsu (AKJJ)

at Lopresti's MMA

The historical reference to AKJJ is based on the personal research and experience of Patrick McCarthy 8th Dan, researcher, historian, and pioneer, in Judo, Jujutsu, and submission fighting [in Japan]. Sensei McCarthy's teachers have been Ron Forrester [Kito-ryu], Wally Jay [Small Circle JU], Richard Kim [Daito Ryu Aiki-jujutsu], and Sugino Yoshio [Katori Shinto Ryu].  

Mr Paul Lopresti studies this modern interpretation of the ancient fighting tradition of Jujutsu under the direct supervision of Sensei McCarthy. It is certainly an art form to be studied as well as an effective means of self defense and very effective for street or the octagon!!
