ADULT MARTIAL ARTS

Heishin-Ryu Sogobujutsu

Heishin-Ryu Sogobujutsu is a Japanese Martial Art which is referred to as a “bundle” or integrated art. The art consists of four major martial disciplines, which cover the various ranges of combat that a Samurai warrior would face in combat. The Martial disciplines consist of: Tejutsu (striking and kicking), Jujutsu (grappling and throwing), Kobujutsu (weapons) and Iaijutsu (sword).

Tejutsu:

The martial art of the “empty hand” combat. It is a medium range combat art that primarily uses the body’s natural weapons – the hands and feet – for striking and kicking one’s opponent at vital points on the body. The roots of the art can be traced back to the martial arts of China.

Jujutsu:

The art of “close control” combat. It is a close-range art that utilizes throws, holds, pins, locks, and chokes. The roots of this art have been traced to before the 11th. Century.

Iaido:

The art of drawing and cutting. We offer training in Yamguchi-ha Toyama-Ryu which was taught to the Imperial Japanese Army.

Kobujutsu:

The art of traditional weapons, including bo (6’ staff), han-bo (3’ stick), along with nunchaku, tonfa, and sai.

Chanbara:

The sport of traditional padded weapons, including katana (long sword) and wakazashi (short sword), bo (6’ staff) and nunchaku.
