It teaches many throws, grabs and holds, but few punches (mainly so-called "atemi" - originally they were lethal strikes to opponent's vital points, but today they are used as light, distracting strikes). Aikido, beside teaching how to fight unarmed, uses "jo"-long staff and "boken" - bamboo or wooden sword. This style has many analogies with "kenjutsu"- Japanese sword fencing style. Skilled "aikidoka"-this term means "one who trains aikido"-can take on several opponents, using their attacks against them, throwing one into another and so on. Aikidoka wears "hakama"-wide pants similar tosplit skirt and jacket similar to that worn by karatekas. In Sixth World, one of the most skilled aikidokas is Cedric Seth, also master of Karate Kyokushinkai and quite good Thai boxer.

It is Bruce Lee who created Jeet Kune Do - "The Way of the Intercepting Fist". After studying several martial arts, Bruce decided that reliance on limited set of manoueuvres and techniques made them obsolete. So, he catalogued all of the ways that human body can be used to attack or defense and then created a simplified, versatile and practical fighting style with no apparent patterns. He used to say: "Use whatever works". That is the motto of this martial art. It uses simple yet effective strikes like elbow smashes or knee strikes and likewise uses "atemi", distracting techniques used mainly in aikido. It uses also many throws and grabs, well, just almost all kinds of techniques.

Description by Fetch:
Formally Ninjutsu and Tai-Jutsu were exactly the same martial art, but between 2000 and 2010 they split up in two different martial arts. Tai-Jutsu is the art of assassination. Sometimes referred to as the Warriors of the Night, they carry an arsenal of tricks and techniques designed for infiltration, penetration, assassination and terror. Tai-Jutsu masters always attempt to finish their fights as quickly as possible. That can mean a devastating attack with bare hands or weapons, or just the throwing of shuriken to cover an escape. Remember that Tai-Jutsu masters only care about the mission, killing is unimportant unless it becomes absolutely necessary.
