Jishukan Ryu
Jishukan Ryu is a traditional school of martial arts combining:
-
Kempo (techniques involving striking, kicking, blocking, evasion)
-
Jujutsu (techniques involving joint locks, pressure points, strikes and throws)
-
Jojutsu (short stick techniques)
T
he Jishukan Ryu system efficiently integrates various methods of self-defence to allow for effective interchangeability between techniques of striking and grappling. Jishukan Ryu was one of the first systems to successfully combine the essential elements of various martial arts, and its practice pre-dates today’s mixed-martial arts training methods. Jishukan Ryu techniques provide a solid foundation for practical self defence, improved health and general well-being, and life-long study of martial art.
Jishukan Ryu was developed by Mr. Shuho Sugita; our first Principal. He researched the Martial Arts and combined them with medical science, anatomy, dynamics and psychology. It was formed as a system of attack and defence. Jishukan Ryu, which literally means “School to Master Self Training”, aims to teach self defence whilst promoting physical and mental well being.
The Australian Branch of the Jishukan Ryu was established in January 1961, and is an authorised Branch of the Jishukan Ryu Honbu in Japan. The MOTTO of the Australian school is “BE MASTER OF YOURSELF” and the basic precept of the School is to always exercise self restraint and humility. Jishukan Ryu Australia is a non-competitive, non-profit organization with clubs in NSW, ACT, QLD, VIC and WA. Please see affiliates page for more information on Jishukan Ryu.
