Is anyone here familiar with these? Here's what I have read online:

Tenmu Mutoryuu Jujutsu

Founded in the 17th century in what is now Toyama prefecture, by the Sasaki family. In 1987...

Thank you all for the replies, I have been away for a little while and forgot all about this post I made!

I am attending class at least once per week (attending the second class is difficult due...

Thank you! I will look into this. I think I can get a used copy off of amazon.jp.

Thanks guys for the string of posts following mine (especially Hissho).

In another thread here, about wrist locks and koryu, someone posted that kata shouldn't be seen as "if attacker does this,...

I think it's a mistake to look at Judo and BJJ as watered-down sport versions of Japanese jujutsu.

Kano was so successful with Judo because he reintroduced sparring back into systems which had...

Thank you for the reply, I will check it out!

Shawn, thanks for the reply! I sent you a PM!

Hello!

I started taking Judo about two months ago. I really like it, but I feel like I've already hit a wall (before I've really even learned anything!! haha). I just do not get the timing or...

Quick update-

We hold an extra class once or twice a month on Saturdays from 6p-9p. Because of my work schedule it's impossible to be there for 6p, but the teacher told me it would be okay to...

Sorry, I am not familiar with Takumakai. I searched around and they don't have a presence in Nagoya sadly, as far as I can tell. There isn't much for Daitoryu around here- there is a Roppokai group...

Mr. Scott, thank you for the comment. I agree with you, and I guess it comes down to what one is looking for in martial arts. The technqiues we studied were definitely Aikido and traditional...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread!

I have studied with this group (once with the founder, who came to visit our class one weekend). I had to drop the class due to my work schedule, but enjoyed it...

Hey guys, final (for now) update on this. I took a week or so off from class, took a mini vacation over the weekend and brought some of my hakkoryu materials with me (the nidan textbook published by...

Thank you for the reply!

I would welcome more resistance in class! I understand what you are saying 100% and agree. If there is no resistance I feel like I am wasting my time (though low/no...

Thanks for the reply! I am taking everyone's input into account and preparing beforehand what I would like to discuss with the teacher. From what another member of E-Budo has told me, we are...

Hello, thank you for the reply!

I definitely need to talk to my teacher, you are right. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do it.

As for my reason for learning Hakkoryu, it is not as a...

Hello Kevin, thank you for the reply!

I think the thing that was bothering me most was that when the guy off the street showed resistance, the teacher fumbled a bit and then muscled his way...

I searched a bit for Hakkoryu on this forum, but it doesn't seem there are many people practicing this style here.

Anyway, a quick introduction: I am currently living in Nagoya, Japan (since about...
