Where is everyone from?

[tmonis]

how long have you been doing hakkoryu? have you ever met Shihan Garner train. He teaches in clio michigan (by flint) he is one of the highest ranked hakkoryu people in the country so maybe you have met him

Greetings, I Studied Hakkoryu Ju Jitsu for about 6 years under Barbara and Darren Myers in Virginia when I was there. I barely made it to 3rd Dan then they divorced and Darren affiliate with Gm Kuniba before he died. His Hakkoryu school closed when Barbara left. Shortly after that I began my Kenpo study. I have been training for 32 years now and blend Hakkoryu, Kenpo and Filipino Martial Arts together in my school. They compliment each other very well.

I never met Shihan Garner. I did get a chance to train with Kuniba through Darren for awhile before he died. His son took over the organization I think.

Hello Raisin,

JJ is an awesome form of the martial arts. Even though I do Kenpo now, I blend my JJ into my Kenpo. My students love it. What form of JJ are you studying?

Lineage? Instructor (s)? Age? Rank?

The style I try to practise every now and then is Tauramuso ryu. Jujutsu is one part of the system (the other being jojutsu and tojutsu). I am still unranked in it, because I think that the only ranks that really count in it are menkyo ranks (shoden, chuden and okuden menkyo). When sensei says that I need to take a test, I'll take it

On karate side I've been doing Kokusai Shorinji ryu, a recent off-shoot of Shorinji ryu Renshinkan. There I am 1. kyu (testing for 1. dan in 2.5 weeks)

I'm studying both these under Yuji Matsuoi sensei right here in Helsinki, Finland.

The lineage for Tauramuso ryu looks like this: Motomu Ikubo sensei (the style head or toryo) -> Yuji Matsuoi sensei -> me

tojutsu

What's this?

 

[TimoS]

What's this?

Basically kenjutsu by another name Don't ask me why it's called tojutsu :idunno:

 

[jujutsu_indonesia]

Basically kenjutsu by another name Don't ask me why it's called tojutsu :idunno:

To = blade Jutsu = art

In of the Ryuhas that my teacher studied, it's called Toho, blade methods.

It's common term.

 

[arnisador]

I guess I have seen to as blade before, but never tojutsu as an art. Thanks!

Dylan Z Thomas, 34 Woodbridge,Va
2nd Dan Icho Yama Ryu Aiki Jujutsu at Quantico Dojo (North).
Student Daito Ryu AikiJujutsu-Kodo Kai at Quantico Dojo (North)-Current. Pekiti Tarsia and Silat under Prof. Dave Wink's FCMA group, Fredrick,Md.-Current.

TKD 86-88
Trained with my Step Dad, Muay Thai/Dirty tricks 84-86.

Icho Yama Ryu was formed by Roy Goldberg, Migul Ibbara and Berni Leu in the early 80s, it's a composite of Miyama Ryu Combat Jujutsu, Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu and Aikdo.
My Sesnei, Dave Lamond started Jujutsu and Judo under Antonio Perrara in 62 untill drafted by the US Army in 66, a few years later, after becoming a patrol man, he got back into Jujutsu when he started to train with Goldberg and Ibarra, who were doing Miyama Tyu and Daito Ryu.

Sensei has had his own Dojo in Va since the mid 80s.
2 Years ago he was declared as the head of his own Kai (Quantico Kai) of Icho Yama Ryu.

Prof Wink has studied with Leo Gage, among others and he and Eric Knauss started the full contact stick fighting group that would become the DogBrothers.

I must also add the late Col. Jim Tirey (USA Ret), he was my Sempi in Quantico Dojo and also trained me in Western and Military knife fightinng as well as opening many doors into FMA/IMA and finding my own natural style with in these arts. He was an important part of the last 11 years of MA and life and I will carry what he taught with me, and pass it on forever.

SHUGYO!

33. Soon to be blue belt in Hakko Ryu JJ after a little over two years of training. Did some Judo for a while when I was 7/8 (yellow belt, my parents moved and I never looked for a new dojo). I have done some kickboxing as well in recent years as well. I am looking to cross train in another disciplin and am debating between Judo, BJJ, MMA and empty hand Kali.

 

[Cirdan]

I am 32 and started training in Ju Jutsu in 2005. Still a blue belt but my focus is not really on grading. I also train in other arts so my focus on different aspects tends to vary a bit, but the moment I try to get in at least two JJ lessons a week. In the summer I tend to focus more exclusively on JJ.

My main instructor is Torbjørn Arntsen who teaches the Ju Jutsu Norway system. I am not quite sure about the lineage but it seems it has infuences from many styles of JJ as well as strikes from Karate.

Recently I have also started taking lessons with Ronny Sandberg in Nihon Goshin Ryu Ju Jutsu. The lineage seems to go pretty straight to Japan but I don`t really know the history of this style yet.
