Dear members,

Does anyone know if Hontai Yoshin Ryu Jujutsu Dojo exist in Tokyo city ? How about north of Tokyo ie Saitama prefecture ?

I have seen the webpage here :
http://www.geocities.co.jp/Colosseum/8136/indexe.html

however, it doesn't show the exavt location of shibu-Dojos.

Can anyone assist ?
;)

Dr. Stephen Fabian is Inoue sensei's US Shibucho and teaches in the US -- you might be able get some information from him. The last I heard, Steve was moving from a midwestern university to the East Coast; but I don't know where.

Cheers,
Guy

Thanks Guy -

WOW - Hyogo prefecture and Hombu, looks a little far from where I'll be staying (Saitama Prefeture). GOOD MAP !

Just a thought, do any of the Shibu Dojos (ie BRANCH DOJO:
Himeji Shibu, Oufu Shibu, Kumamoto Shibu, Kagoshima Shibu) exist around Tokyo Metropolis or surrounding prefectures ?

Howard,

I am a student of Hontain Yoshin Ryu under Inoue soke, currently living in Tokyo. There is no HYR dojo in Tokyo. I can check to see if there are any smaller groups training in the Kanto area, but there are none that I know of. If you are coming to Saitama, you may be out of luck.

I'm curious why you are interested specifically in HYR.

regards,
Jake Tarbox

Hello,
Reading your question, I am not too sure if this will help but Tanemura Sensei of the Genbukan does teach Hontai Takagi Yoshin Ryu as part of the Kokusai Jujutsu Renmai in Saitama prefecture...The website address is www.genbukan.com ...I am aware that there is a difference between Hontai Takagi Yoshin and Hontai Yoshin Ryu, but I thought perhaps this might help anyway.
Abayo.

Sounds like this Saitama dojo will be your best bet. There is nothing else I know of in Saitama.
