Yoseikan

An "old school" style of Aikido developed by Minoru Mochizuki, an early student of O-sensei Ueshiba and also of Kano sensei. This style includes elements of Aiki-Budo together with aspects of Karate, Judo and other arts. While many similar arts are often taught with many of the most dangerous moves removed to promote safe training for its students, Mochizuki Sensei retained all the combat effective moves.

The word "Yoseikan" can be translated as "the place where the truth is taught" ( Yo = teaching, sei = truth, kan = place or house).
