It has been a couple of months since I had the chance to go back to training with this group.
Im now also getting back into Taiko in my spare time (which isnt much) but im doing all that I can to try things old and new here in Japan and simply tell it like it is! Sorry about the mistake- This is actually the HONBU - I forgot to mention, and as it is only a block from my house I was very interested in it. Honbu means head- as in head office or head training centre, Soke sensei travels the world teaching he's jujitsu he has medals and certificates from the FBI & military on the walls in his dojo. There are branches all over the places. Hakkou-ryu is a traditional style and is worth learning if you are interested :)

  • im prob gnna be stationed in okinawa. how do locals feel if a U.S marine wanted to train in there gym.

  • @usmc030092 it really helps if you speak the language or at least try to. I know in Okinawa there has been a lot of problems. I know both Okinawans and Marines and I hear mixed things.. best thing you can do is make an effort to speak the language, be polite and respectful and give it a go.. you can't ask for much more... Good Luck mate

  • This is a Hakko Ryu dojo. The Sign says Hakko Ryu So Hombu Dojo. This is a modern school based on Daito Ryu.

  • @mekugi would LOOOOOVE to see you come here & say that ;-)

  • This is cool..I like how this guy treats a traditional martial arts dojo like his home away from home, even though he's not a native he's allowed to train with masters because he is respectfull and open minded. This is just what I was looking for, thanks for the vid!

  • If I were you and had the opportunity to experience JJ...i WOULD LOOK INTO KOSEN JUDO. It's the pre WWII Judo / Kano Ryu Jujutsu that Maeda taught the Brazilians

  • @Bushiey I think the fact that BJJ was tested for a long while in no rules Vale Tudo style matches speaks for itself...

    ...Also, love the 'see the Chinese writing behind me' bit was pretty funny.

  • @usmc030092 probably most of the people will be quite hostile(but they won't express it openly). having good manners restraining your emotion would be good i think

  • very cool video, thanks for sharing. 

  • @44excalibur that is true and im not saying your wrong but some clubs will maintain the jiu jitsu spelling just to show that they were founded around that time. Thats what my one does

  • I studied small circle jujutsu. I'd love to get the opportunity to visit those dojos over there.

  • im learning moto ha yoshin ryu, hopefully will become shodan this summer!!!

  • @RawCombatJapan

    Your doing a good job. I may have a question 4 u, I may be heading to 東京 to work. Maybe.

  • @Saforge If you type the word "Jiu-Jitsu" of course you're gonna get "BJJ armbar technique." You have to type the words Japanese "Jujutsu" which is the correct spelling, not "Jiu Jitsu."

  • @RawCombatJapan that guy has very good eyes to be able to read the sign from your movie!!!!!
