Techniques of Minoru Mochizuki's Original System
Yoseikan practitioners under Mochizuki Minoru were required to do a considerable amount of cross training in order to gain teaching credentials. This included gaining a minimum of a blackbelt in judo in addition to training in aikido, karate and Katori Shinto Ryu. Techniques found in jojutsu and iaido were also included.
The following a sampling of some the techniques practised in Mochizuki's original basic curriculum:
- Basic forms of striking (karate based)
- Footwork (taisabaki)
- Forms of joint manipulation (largely aikijujutsu based) and throwing (largely judo based)
- Jointlock flow and counter form
- Paired sword forms
- Sacrifice throws (Sutemiwaza)
- Taking the attacker's sword (Tachitori)
- Taking the attacker's staff (Bodori)
- 2 person & 3 person grab
- Multi person attacks
Randori or 'free practice' in both single and multi-opponent situations was also a part of everyday dojo training

Famous quotes containing the words techniques of, techniques, original and/or system:
“The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)

“Every man is a creative cause of what happens, a primum mobile with an original movement.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“If mothers are to be successful in achieving their child-rearing goals, they must have the inner freedom to find their own value system and within that system to find what is acceptable to them and what is not. This means leaving behind the anxiety, but also the security, of simplistic good-bad formulations and deciding for themselves what they want to teach their children.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
