The Background of training includes BOJUKA RYU which utilized principles and applications of Chito Ryu Karate, Kodenkan Jujitsu, Han Moo Kwan Tae Kwan Do, Chinese Kempo, White Crane and Praying Mantis Kung Fu. AIBUDO also blends an eclectic combination of Grappling disciplines, such as Danzen Ryu Jujitsu, Pancrase/Greco, Sambo, Judo, and Free Style Wrestling. Old world weapons forms of the Isshin Ryu system are our leader in external Weapons. Fighting techniques of American Freestyle Karate are also included in the system. There are also minor principles of AIKIDO and major elements of Street Self-Defense.

All students will be taught on a "one-to-one" basis. The method of instruction will be in keeping with the ancient tradition of the Kodenkan which may be translated as "The school in which seniors transmit the tradition". This following translation describes the Kodenkan method of instruction: Senior students help teach junior students in the spirit which professor Okazaki declared was inherent in the work Kokua, "To help one another".
