    Introduction time

    Hi all. So I have been doing Tsutsumi Hozan Ryu Ju Jutsu at Jan de Jong School in Perth for the last 2 and a half years or so. I did a couple of years training back when I was a kid, ancient history now though as I was away for 12 years. Am currently 5th Kyu which is blue belt in our system but going for 4th Kyu this weekend, so wish me luck!

    Hello to all! My name is Steve McCarthy. I live in NE,Indiana(USA) I studied Judo when I was in my teens and for a short time while in the Army(70's& early 80's) In other words along time ago.lol I have been interested in Ju-Jutsu for awhile now but due to some serious health problems I have not done any real training in years(I'm doing much better now thanks to the great HC professionals at VA medical center)

    Welcome aboard! Jujutsu's one of those arts that you can keep going with for ages, as long as your instructors don't mind you adding in stuff from other arts you've learned. Really good base for becoming a very well-rounded martial artist.

    Get a grounding first before you mix and match though, it'll help avoid confusion.

    I guess i should throw my intro here, does not seem to be many canadians here. I am logged in as panthr1, or james will do. Located in calgary alberta canada

    I have been involved with Bissett jiu jitsu/jishin-do jiu jitsu for many years, about 1994 i guess. 1996 recieved green belt.
    there used to be a number of independant clubs operating then issues with the club had it change hands and deteriorate, get sold and then move. there was not really any other traditional self defense system so my practice lapsed. Then took a couple years internet lurking and searching emailing anyone who had trained in this style to get a response to see if there was anyone locals to help get back into training. Much to my suprise i got a email from Kyoshi Bissett ( head of our style)and am now back to my training. although no formal club here i am trying to get people interested and active here again. 1 new member and a couple part time members. I sure enjoy training again and am hoping this fall hold a succesful blue belt test...and maybe some new martial arts friends.
    Happy to have found this forum as well.

    Dynamic MMA Calgary has started a spot for us to get back to training.
    Bissett Jiu Jitsu/Tai Jitsu. (japanese Jiu Jitsu)

    Headed by 2nd dan black belt in our style, so it is not a "attempt" at our style but current curiculum as printed. They understand that not everyone wants to step into the cage, and selfdefence is a concern. so here we are.

    There were a couple people interested, so here is a update.

    Out of my basement dojo and into the light.
    Free to check it out, easy to get to, just off deerfoot in the NE

    I have just started doing Tai-Jitsu. Enjoying it a lot.

    We also do some Yoshin Ryu Ju Jutsu in our normal classes.

    As an extra, saturdays we are going to start doing the even more traditional Asayama Ichiden Ryu Ju Jutsu.

    Welcome.

    Are you studying in the Genbukan or another of the X-Kans?
     
  18. Zabrus

    Zabrus Valued Member

    I'm in Barcelona, Spain.

    As far as I know it is one of the Kans... It is called Shintaikan dojo.

    We are under the aegis of sensei Kai Kuniyuki's Yoshin Ryu school. I'm looking forward to seeing him next year.

    I'm hoping to do a bit of tambo-jutsu too.

    Yeah

    Hello all my name is James. I have been studying JMA most of my life starting in the 80 with Judo. let see the list:

    These I trained in for awhile over the years but got no rank to speak of really;
    Kodokan Judo
    Shotokan Karate
    WTF Tae Kwon Do
    Hapkido
    Jeet Kune Do concepts
    Mudokwan Judo

    Recent endevours;

    Senso Ryu Aikijutsu; Menkyo Chuden, Sandan (99-03)
    Kodokan Judo (again under the late Sensei Virgil Bowls); Green belt
    Aikikai Aikido; Sankyu
    Dentokan Jujutsu; Green belt (awarded because of my previous experience in other arts)
    Hakuho Ryu Aikibudo; no rank yet current art being studied under Dan Sharp Sensei and Rod an Mitsuko Uhler Shihans.
    Onoha Itto Ryu Kenjutsu Sokaku den; under the Uhler's as well.

    I think that about covers it.....don't think I missed anything. I currently run my own Dojo in Indianapolis where I teach Senso Ryu. I'm in the process of learning Hakuho Ryu to become a study group and hopefully a full Dojo in the future. :hat:

    Thanks
    James
