It's a relatively close and cheap school, and since my sister offered to pay, I was wondering what you guys thought about it.
Its a cool art that could be good depending on how they train/spar. I would check out a class or two and see how you like it. I would also be sure to ask about sparring, teacher credentials, and belt rankings. If you see any 12 year old black belts just leave
To be honest bro, any site for a Martial Arts school who's home page is their philosophical ideology I would stay away from. I mean, they call themselves "The warriors of the sacred mountain of enlightenment".
If they offer you any Kool-Aid say NO!!

We don't have Kool Aid here... Isn't it that big jug that's always breaking through walls in Family Guy going 'Oh YEEAAAAH!'?

LOL! Yeah, it is. In the old commercials (the ones I grew up watching) someone would be sitting around saying "Man, I'm thirsty" and Kool-Aid guy would come smashing through the wall yelling "OH YEAH!"
Everytime they do that on Family Guy I spit whatever I'm drinking right out my nose. Those writers have to be right around my age because so much of the material picks at stuff I grew up with.

I'll go there for a try, if they start talking about 6 week self defence courses, and all, I'm out, but if it seems good, I'll stick with it, it's not going to replace my Judo, I just want it to benefit my Judo.

The website looks interesting, but, like Joe, I'm skeptical of all the philosophical content. I mean, I don't see anything wrong with a martial art that is heavy on philosophy as part of its curriculum. I'd just make sure it's not the emphasis of the curriculum. Certainly check them out, but be picky.

I haven't ever heard of anything as "Aiki Bujutsu" and the guys claim to be 8th and 9 th Dan insturctors. And the name looks pretty much lame. (yamabushi would mean mountain warrior, which was probably just picked up from a kanji book to make it sound cool)

It looks fishy to me.
I'll be careful, anything I should watch out for apart from black belt babies, weekly gradings and ki demonstrations? Doesn't sound like a money grabbing place, being cheap with no sign up fees.

Yes most importantly look at the way they train. Do you get to use/practice your moves in a full resistance environment. So if there is no full resistance sparring ever, I wouldnt do it.

Alright,I hope It comes out to be a good place. It's just that all the article stuff seems to be Samurai LARPer stuff
Maybe they're just good people with some major geekage going on in their brains.

In my humble opinion. Most any martial art will benefit
your judo. It depends on what you'd like(style wise).
Maybe talk to some of the students away from the school.
See what feed-back they give you.
Usually, forget about High degrees. See if they have
some bona fide in other circles.

Yeah, that's what I was picking up on, too. Guys who would like to pretend they are still living in fuedal Japan.

I'm showing up a little late to the party here but what I did think was good was their little section on striking. Some of the ju and aiki out there leave that part out these days.
Martial arts schools are a game of trial and error untill you find what you are looking for , so i say try it you might love it! but if you dont you can always move on
