Auckland Traditional Japanese Ju Jutsu is a dojo based in Laingholm, Auckland that is solely directed to train in both Takamura-ha Shindo Yoshin ryu (Koryu) and Kokodo (Nihon densho) Ju Jutsu. The club runs under the leadership of Jules Robson sensei.
Takamura ha Shindō Yōshin-ryū [TSYR] (新道楊心流) is an ancient (koryū) Ju Jutsu school characterised by its gentle grace and natural martial movement. The curriculum incorporates a blend of armed and unarmed techniques organized into a series of teaching forms (Kata). TSYR includes a strong emphasise on sword work. The branch dojo is Auckland is called the Kawanishi dojo. We are annually visited by the TSYR Kaicho, Toby Threadgill, from the Honbu Dojo in Evergreen, Colorado, USA.
KoKoDo Ju Jutsu is a school of Japanese Ju Jutsu with its roots in Hakkoryu Jujutsu and Daitoryu Aikijujutsu. It is taught via a series of techniques (waza) that help students understand key budo principles relating to how to neutralize an attacker’s power through the most efficient use of appropriate distance, proper angles, spiral movements and strikes. As part of our regular training our students also study Shiatsu, a form of therapeutic acupressure. Our study group is under the direct instruction of Seamark Hanshi, from the Sadohana dojo in Vancouver, Canada. Seamark Hanshi is a direct student (Jikimon) of Irie Soke from the Honbu Dojo in Omija, Saitama, Japan.
