The Daitō-ryū Aikijūjutsu Irohakun 大東流合気柔術いろは訓 (The Precepts of the Fundamentals) is one of the first known booklets produced by Okuyama Sensei while he was still a student training under Matsuda Toshimi learning Daito-ryu. The recorded precepts in this manuscript use to be a closed secret passed only to students training. Okuyama authored this work in collaboration with Matsuda to make it more available.
