The Aikido Yoshokai Association of North America - AYANA (合氣道耀尚會)[1] is an aikido organization founded in 1991 by former Yoshinkan-affiliated master Takashi Kushida.
Full tenkan movements are present, but partial pivots and more conservative blending motions are perhaps more usual.
A special emphasis is placed on aikido as a form of conflict resolution and a cooperative study of making harmony between two people.
Like Yoshinkan Aikido, Daito-ryu aiki-jujutsu names for basic techniques are retained (e.g. "ikkajō" rather than "ikkyō") Yoshokai Aikido is organized in a rather centralized fashion relative to other styles, with technique lists and explanations distributed annually.
Weapons techniques (buki-waza) are prominent in the curriculum, mostly with bokken, jō, and tantō.
