Lineage: Hokusei Goshin Dojo, formerly the Auckland Studio of Jiu Jitsu, can trace its ju-jitsu lineage via Terry Evans to Hans van Ess OSA, who brought Kawaishi Jiu Jitsu to New Zealand from Holland in 1961. Hans trained predominantly under Jaap Nauwelaerts de Agé, who studied under Jean de Herdt, one of Mikonosuke Kawaishi’s original French students. He also trained under Gé Koning and the judo great, Anton Geesink.
Hokusei Goshin Dojo teaches a derivative system of Kawaishi Nihon Goshin Jutsu and Koshin Ryu Ju Jitsu as developed by the head instructor Terry Evans which he calls Tetsu Yoshin Ryu Ju Jitsu (Iron Willow Heart School). The school mainly concentrates on real self defense from real situations but also incorporates a sport fighting component. Our focus though is on teaching quality Martial Arts that all can master given time.
