Yoseikan Budo is a comprehensive Japanese martial art founded by Master Minoru Mochizuki. Yoseikan Budo as practiced in the United States is most strongly identified with aikido, although it is heavily flavored with judo techniques, so that it resembles the older, broader, aikijujutsu styles from which judo and aikido were derived. Some of the hallmarks of Yoseikan Budo are sacrifice techniques (sutemi) and groundwork (ne waza). Yoseikan is widely practiced in Japan and Europe. It is relatively obscure but growing in the US. Master Hiroo Mochizuki of France has inherited the leadership of Yoseikan Budo from his father and now heads the Yoseikan World Federation.
