Aikijutsu. One of 4 oriental martial arts I was involved in until I became too old and brittle, and had a couple of strokes. Aikijutsu is an old, true fighting art, rather than a sport. Aiki relates to mental anticipation of what the BG is about to do based upon his eyes, body posture, etc, and a certain amount of manipulating, or "suckering" him/her/it into moving in such a way as to give you the advantage. The full name was Aiki-jujutsu. The ju-jutsu part is the actual physical techniques, including throwing, joint-locking/twisting, choking, restraining, punching, kicking, and striking. Works great at close quarters. Not much help against a guy with a full-auto gun 30 feet away...
