Nippon Goshin Aikijujutsu no Koryu

Shiro Kawa Dojo is committed to teaching defensive tactics based upon the system of Nippon Goshin Aikijujutsu no Koryu. There are many styles of Aiki Jujutsu being practiced today. The most celebrated style in Japan today is the Daito Ryu. It is the Daito Ryu that we in Nippon Goshin practice. Daito Ryu is the parent art of many other well-known arts such as Hakkoryu, Shorinji Kempo, Hapkido and Aikido. All of these styles were formulated by students of the great Takeda Sokaku.  Although Daito Ryu traces its linage to Minamoto no Yoshimitsu in the 11th century A.D., we consider Takeda Sokaku to be our modern day father of Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu.

We train in a traditional manner with emphasis placed on respect for our country, our selves and each other. Our students train as if his or her life depended on the ability to survive on the street. Therefore, discipline in the dojo is strict. The student is required to learn not only the techniques of the art, but also the traditions and etiquette.

Our students come from a variety of backgrounds including Law Enforcement, Government Officials, Business Men, Oil Field Workers and College Students. Many of them have had previous martial arts training in Aikido, Judo, Tae Kwon Do and other MMA styles.

Awaseru Nami (To Meet the Wave)

The wave rises timely before the rock

and  appears to be crashing harshly against it,

but in an instant it yields, turns and surrounds it.

Which one stands to win against the immovable rock?

Yet the rock cannot stop the wave

and the sea continues its flow as man who knows

his path.
