Extractions: Our goal is to earnestly learn and perpetuate Japanese budo within the context of Western culture. The Beikoku Rembukan (America Martial Spirit Polishing Hall) was granted charter in 1986 and is named after the famous Rembukan dojo that once served as the hombu for Shindo Muso Ryu Jodo in Tokyo, Japan under the strict instruction of Shimizu, Takaji Sensei. Although the original RembukanDojo existed for just less than 10 years, it was home to many of today's great Jodo teachers. The Rembukan became a portal that allowed Westerners introduction to many Kobudo, arts that were virtually inaccessible at that time. Shimizu Sensei worked closely with Donn Draeger, a senior member of the dojo and the senior ranking Westerner responsible for approving non-Japanese students interested in studying the Shindo Muso Ryu. Rick began his Jodo instruction in 1974. Today, Rick resides near Annapolis, Maryland with his wife Yuriko and their two children. Rick is the senior instructor of the Beikoku Rembukan and has been studying budo for over 40 years. Having studied under Shimizu, Takaji, Rick also spent many years studying with Kaminoda, Tsunemori serving as his first and only "Shibucho" outside of Japan. Despite a twenty-five year hiatus, Mr. Kaminoda came to visit Rick each year from 1995 thru 2000 to compliment Rick's yearly sojourn to Japan.

The two most notable are Inoue Motokatsu's Ryukyu Kobujutsu Hozon Shinko Kai and Arakawa Busen's Sokan-ryu. Interestingly, both men were students of Taira Shinken.

Extractions: In mid-1944, with coastal defense requirements becoming urgent, the Japanese Navy developed an improved version of the . Designated "Type D" and nicknamed "Koryu", the new design was somewhat larger than the earlier types, featured a more powerful diesel engine and had improved operating endurance.

Extractions: DisableRegisteredAnchors = false; Bath Koryu Leave your shoes at the door and pad up to your room in this pretty Anglo-Japanese guesthouse with incredibly friendly service and newly refurbished rooms full of light colours, subtle florals and fresh linens. Beaming smiles greet you at the door of Koryu, a Victorian terraced guesthouse just five minutes' walk from the centre of town. The Japanese staff are effortlessly efficient and very welcoming, the rooms are immaculately kept and the simple, clutter-free style is a rare relief from Bath's fondness for chintz. Sparkling white duvets contrast with deep red carpets in the excellent-value bedrooms and despite the bright, modern style the rooms still manage to retain the period character of the original house. There's also a subtle Japanese influence throughout with breakfast menus made from handmade paper and quirky photos and prints on the walls. All rooms are en suite and have new bathroom fittings, TV, and tea- and coffee-making facilities. There's also plenty of on- and off-street parking.

Koryu Jujutsu For those interested in the study of a koryu budo / bujutsu (classical martial art) style based in Japan . The dojo is located in the Los Angeles area. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/lss/546056974.html
Extractions: This is a very conservative style of Japanese budo, which emphasizes the use of proper alignment, timing and technique, rather than brute strength to subdue an opponent. Other popular self-defense arts, such as Aikido, were derived from this art, and it has been taught heavily to both military and police for over 100 years.

Extractions: Treasured Tales USA TOUR 2007 5th generation headmaster, Hachioji Kuruma Ningyo Born in 1953, Hachioji, Tokyo. The oldest son of headmaster Nishikawa Koryu IV, he studied puppetry from his childhood under his father and in 1966, at age 13, was given his first stage name, Nishikawa Ryuji. After studying Bunraku puppetry for two years at the National Theatre Bunraku study center, he traveled to Stockholm, Sweden, in 1987-89 to give performances and conduct workshops. In 1996, he succeeded to the headmastership of the school and took the name Nishikawa Koryu V. That same year, Hachioji Kuruma Ningyo was designated an Intangible Folk Custom Cultural Asset by the Japanese national government. Koryu-sensei's studies of traditional Japanese dance and Bunraku puppetry add depth and versatility to his art and he is involved in traditional performances and productions as well as new collaborations, including work with Shinnai, Noh, and other theatrical forms. He is also experimenting with puppetry in non-traditional formats, such as flamenco and other western dance forms. He is active in promoting awareness and understanding of Kuruma Ningyo throughout Japan and overseas. In cooperation with the Hachioji Board of Education, he provides performances and demonstrations as well as open studio days for the public, and summer and after-school programs for school children, in order to expand the traditional arts and ensure an audience for them in the future. In 2004, Nishikawa Koryu V was named Cultural Ambassador of Hachioji City.
