has any one hared of hakko denshin ryu jujutsu? if so can some one tell me if it is a good martial art to use on in the streets
It is a derivative of Hakko-ryu Jujutsu, and thus shared the Daito-ryu lineage. Very traditional Jujutsu.. well basically it's Hakko-ryu with another name. If you like Aiki arts, this is a good art to learn. And the formal techniques that you learned could be easily applied in real fighting situation if you have a good teacher.martial artis said:has any one hared of hakko denshin ryu jujutsu? if so can some one tell me if it is a good martial art to use on in the streets
JAMJTX said:LaMonica Sensei has alwasy been very highly regarded in the Hakko Ryu community. I don't think he changed much at all with regards to the training, it's mostly just a name change since he is no longer affiliated with the honbu.
If you are looking for good training, you can't go wrong here.
"Mr. La Monica (owner of the website) is a legitimate menkyo kaiden in Hakko-ryu" This is also true.
JAMJTX said:Hello,
Kuniba Soke had his "Goshin Budo" ideas for a long time, but it was not accepted in Japan. He had Seishinkai members here who were hungry for what he wanted to teach who also had the Hakko Ryu background. So he incorporated thier Hakko Ryu into what he taught them in order to make it easier. Kuniba himself never trained in Hakko Ryu and was not affiliated with any of the Hakko Ryu organizations, as many mistakenly believe. But what is taught by people like Roy Hobbs, Butch Velez, Ricky Adams and myself (as well as some others) is highly influenced by Hakko Ryu.
JAMJTX said:My understanding was that it was not accepted mainly because there were no kata. There may have been other reasons.
He had the idea of combining his Karate, Judo and Aikido for a long time. He had been teaching the Motobuha Shito Ryu Karatedo Kata, using Judo and Aikido to show variations on the bunkai.
All I know fo rsure was that he applied once to have his "Goshin Budo" accepted and it was denied. Some years later, after developing some kata and having the system more organized he re-applied (with help and support from Gozo Shioda) and it was accepted.
He had plans to develop more kata, but he took ill and passed away before doing that.
