Hi, Im starting AikiJujutsu this week. I am also a member of a Karate club.
Should I quit the Karate club? Or is Karate and AikiJujutsu good? Hi Ryan,
A couple of things here ...
First, if you can keep two desperate arts separated in their techniques without allowing them to overlap, there should not be a problem. That being said, your sensei is really the one to discuss this with.

Second, be aware that "Aikijujutsu" and "Daito ryu" are the latest incarnation of the "ninja" craze of the eighties. In the 80's, it seemed like everyone was teaching some form of "ninjutsu" and everybody was jumping on the bandwagon with many arts of the same name that looked nothing like the original. The craze turned to the "samurai" arts in the 90's with anything "jujutsu" or "kenjutsu" being a big hit. Most of the so called "ninja" from the 80's hopped aboard the samurai wagon. Today, we have "aikijujutsu" and "Daito ryu" as the latest fad. While there are several decent schools of aikijutsu and Daito ryu is a legitimate school, that doesn't mean that everyone on this particular bandwagon is dealing from the top of the deck. I have heard of quite a few bogus individuals that use the proper buzz words to sell their own particular brand of .... stuff. Be sure and ask about credentials and find out where the instructor's authority to teach was granted. And don't sign contracts!

Cheers,
