    Default Suio-ryu iai-kenpo

    Hi All,

    Suio Ryu study groups are now being established in Anaheim, California, and San Deigo, California. Lead by 15th soke Katsuse-Sensei, the Suio-Ryu contains teachings in iaijutsu (sword drawing), naginatajutsu (halberd), kusarigamajutsu (chain and sickle), Jojutsu (short staff), Kogusoku (semi-armoured grappling) and Wakizashi (short sword). For more information please contact Brian Stokes at www.SuioRyuUSA@aol.com.

    Thanks,

    Brian Stokes

    YAMANTAKA : Dear Mr. Stokes,
    What is the difference between an affiliated dojo and a study group? At what level the Suio Ryu gives a teaching authorization?
    Best regards and a good keiko

    Default Affliated Dojo vs Study Group

    Dear Ubaldo,

    Interesting question. From MY perspective an affilated dojo is one where there is a licensed teacher who teaches class AND his/her dojo is recognized as such by the Ryu. Our study group consists of individuals who have been training in the Suio Ryu, both in the US and Japan, have been accepted by the Hombu as students, but who meet to share their expertise with others and amongst themselves -- students helping students -- big brother/little brother; There is no "teacher" present.

    I hope this makes sense. Actually, last month while some of us were in Japan, Soke Katsuse offered to establish the Anaheim dojo of Yamazaki Sensei as the Hombu for Suio in the US but we politely turned him down. Those of us present at that time felt that our skills in the Suio Ryu were not of a quality to appropriately represent ourselves as "practioners" of this fine school. Maybe next year.

    Thanks for your interest,

    Brian Stokes

    YAMANTAKA : It does. Thank you very much for your answer.

    YAMANTAKA : I think that shows your credibility and your seriousness, Brian San. By the way, is your dojo in Anaheim affiliated with Kiyoshi Yamazaki Sensei, of the Ryobukan? I have the greatest respect for him and for Howard High Sensei.
    Best regards and always a good keiko

    Default Suio Ryu and Anaheim

    Hi Ubaldo-San,

    You are right on target! It is indeed Yamazaki Kiyoshi Sensei's dojo to which I speak. It was through his efforts that we were able to make a formal connection with the Suio Ryu. However, Yamazaki Sensei is not himself involved in training. He is, however, one of our two connections with Katsuse Soke. The other is Antony Cundy of Kendo World.

    Have a great day!

    YAMANTAKA : Dear Brian San,
    Sorry to bother you again but could you ask Mr. Cundy, of Kendo World, about this supposed KORYU, that's also being practiced in Brazil :

    Your help, of course, will be much appreciated.

    I would say Tony "Shandy" Cundy would be the man to ask about Japanese Koryu. I have known Tony for many years. He was a translator for the Nippon Budokan and and his knowledge on Japanese arts (sword especially) is among the best out there.

    Thumbs up Suio-ryu

    Hi All,

    I am pleased to let all know that a sanctioned study group of the Suio Ryu has been established in Anaheim, California. This Ryu dates back to 1600 and includes many different weapons. It was made famous in the "Baby Cart" series.

    For those interested the group meets at the dojo of Yamazaki Sensei every Saturday from 11:00am to approximately 3:00pm, and Wedensday nights from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. The address is 1512 South Euclid, about 1 mile west of Disneyland.

    Please come and join us!

    Default Suio Ryu Iai Kenpo USA Shibu

    Hi All!
    Just a few days ago i found this thread:http://www.e-budo.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36087
    Brian Stokes posted the following:
    FYI - Suio Ryu® and Suio Ryu Iai Kenpo® anr trademarks of the Suio Ryu®, Japan.
    Wow! Is this the future of koryu? Please dont take this as a critic but i am wondering why the Suio Ryu registered there name as a trademark. Yes this is maybe a natural step to avoid misuse but its strange in my eyes.
    Brian, could you please explain why it has been done and where (what countrys?) the ryu is registered as a trademark? And all others, what do you think about it?
