JUKOSHIN RYU INTERNATIONAL Bryan Cheek considers the strict comprehension of what you are doing and why you are to do in this very way to be the most important thing for high level trainings. To his mind, for every Martial Artist it is very important to have a high technique level in his own style, speed, ability to move relaxed, be in a good shape and coordinate body strength with consciousness strength. Testing (grade qualification) in Jukoshin Ryu is not only the demonstration of technical level but character as well. «5-S Jukoshin Ryu Ju Jutsu» (5 aspects important for everyone training in Budo)
Today Jukoshin Ryu keeps on its development with a kind assistance of Jukoshin Ryu International leading Instructors. One part of School syllabus consists of the techniques characterized for traditional Judo, the second - of strokes, and the third - of the techniques characterized for traditional Ju Jutsu. The basic School syllabus consists of 600 separate actions (movements) and combinations, including armed combat techniques. It is divided into syllabus from the beginner to 6th dan grade.
Moto-ha Yoshin Ryu International国際本派楊心流武術 In 1996 the leading Master of Hontai Yoshin Ryu, menkyo kaiden holder, Yasumoto Akiyoshi left Hontai Yoshin Ryu and grounded his own style, which in 1999 got the name of Moto-ha Yoshin Ryu bu-jutsu (Yasumoto Yoshin Ryu version). The name Moto-ha Yoshin Ryu was officially announced at Ju-jutsu Congress in Copenhagen, Denmark on 18th October 1999. School offices are situated in several Europe countries, CIS, USA, Cyprus and Israel. The headquarters is located in Japan, Tottori province. Teaching the students Soke Yasumoto uses the old methods of knowledge passing (shoden, chuden and okuden) and “kuden” – oral transmission to the closest students. The basic principles of Moto-ha Yoshin Ryu techniques are ‘kuzushi’ (breaking one’s balance), “tai-sabaki” (passing through the attacker’s force line) and “te-no uchi” (the specific hand moving techniques). In Yasumoto Sensei School the students study classical ju jutsu techniques, binding techniques and half-staff combat techniques – hanbo jutsu. Classical staff “Bo” and short sword combat Arts are included in the syllabus as well. Iai-jutsu (sword techniques) of Moto-ha Mugai Ryu iai heiho or Moto-ha Fudoshin iai are also included in the School. In this unit classical kata and kumitachi (paired techniques) of Mugai Ryu are presented. Iai section is supervised by Nakai Norisato Sensei, 6th dan men no maki, Soke Yasumoto uchideshi and Soke Nakagava student. The School is based on basic kata training and their realization techniques (“bunkai”.) The kata themselves differ from grade to grade and from Black belt holders (“yudansha”) demand more complicated basic techniques performance. The Master techniques include variety of throttling, carotid arteries strangulation techniques and “kyusho waza” - vital points techniques. Moto-ha Yoshin Ryu trainings include a lot of “henka waza” (varieties of basic techniques performance depending upon the situation), “kaeshi” (contra-techniques) and “renjoku” (combinations) techniques. “Tanto dori”, disarmament of a knife armed opponent, is a very important unit of the School programme. In addition to basic techniques they also study opponent holds, binding, “kappo” - reanimating techniques and “okui-ho” - bones correction techniques. The trainings also include several types of “randori” training fights. Having obtained “okuden” degree, the student gets the methods of inner perfection “shugendo”, which include “ketsu-in” (mokuso meditation and kokju-ho breathing practices) and “jumon” (energy meridians functioning methods), “zanshin” (the methods of space control), group fighting techniques and also tactics recommendations for night and limited space fighting. |
