Aikiho Kempo Jujutsu, literally "harmonious spirit principle fist law gentle art", is one of the six base principles of Kiyojute Ryu. It represents the Aikijujutsu method of the Japanese Bushi, high level Samurai who fought in heavy armor that protected them from hand strikes and kicks but were still susceptible to joint manipulations.

Aikiho focuses on blending with an attacker's movement, subduing him with joint locks and never attempting to challenge force with force. It is similar to the modern art of Aikido in many respects.
