八光流 (一) Hakko Ryu Shodai Soke Okuyama Ryuho (Part 1 of 4)

八光流 (一) Here is the first in a series of rare video clips of Shodai Soke Okuyama Ryuho, the founder of Hakko Ryu Jujutsu and Koho Shiatsu Igaku. In these videos you will see demonstrations of both the Jujutsu and Koho Shiatsu portions of training. Also, you will see many rare photos and hear songs sung which are related to the art.

There are thousands of practitioners of Hakko Ryu around the world. Many of which have never had the privilege of seeing the founder while he was alive. I hope this video serves as a source of inspiration for all practitioners of Hakko Ryu worldwide.

Thank you for uploading this video. It shows not only the skills of your founder, but also a link to the source of many techniques found in Shorinji Kempo.

Thank you for bring this up. I neglected to tag my videos with Shorinji Kempo. The founder Doshin So was a student of Okuyama Sensei as well. It is very clear that the Seiho bodywork methods in Shorinji Kempo are deeply related to the Koho Shiatsu Igaku of Hakko Ryu as well as the methods of Jujutsu.

"Maximum pain for the antagonist with minimum effort for the protagonists" You don't see much of that in BJJ or QJJ these days. Is there a Hakki-ryu jujutsu school in the Flint, Michigan area.

@bacurrie01 Nidai Soke Okuyama has stated that Doshin studied Hakko Ryu for about two years learning up to Nidan Gi and Koho Shiatsu Igaku. He said Doshin quit the training because he didn't like the pain involved in the Kihon training. The major cross over is in the medical side of the art. Hakko Ryu's Koho Shiatsu Igaku and Shorinji Kenpo's Seiho. Both art's unarmed technique are not so similar. However, Doshin's medical methods are deeply linked to Hakko Ryu.

However, Doshin's medical methods are deeply linked.

Hakko Ryu is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
