YOSHIN RYU JUJITSU TERMS |
|
|
| Just A Note
Concerning Modern Yoshin Ryu Jujitsu |
| |
|
The American Federation of Jujitsu
(AFJ), and The International Federation of Yoshin Ryu Jujitsu
believes it offers the closest translations to the original Yoshin
Ryu Jujitsu techniques. Yoshin Ryu is an old "ancient" style of
Jujitsu and is therefore considered "dead" by many martial arts
historians. Martial Arts are usually passed down from Instructor
to Instructor, traditionally family members. If there is a break
and the art is not "passed" to an heir, the lineage is broken and
the art is considered dead. This means that if you are intent on
studying an Art that has a lineage from the founding Head
Instructor of that Art, you should dedicate your efforts of study
towards the main line arts with an unbroken lineage such as Danzan
Ryu, Judo or Aikido, etc. However, Yoshin Ryu is interesting to
research and practice because it was one of the main styles used
by Dr. Jigoro Kano in his creation of Judo. Professor Henry
Okazaki also used it in the creation of Danzan Ryu Jujitsu. Shihan
Weymouth, Master Ellis and Master Moore, all who hold various
Yudansha ranks and have different backgrounds in various other
styles of Jujitsu and Judo, have been instrumental in studying,
promoting and reviving this ancient art. Their work has been to
achieve a "reenactment" of this ancient style through study,
research and practice. Like any interpretations from ancient
styles, there are discrepancies between different artist's
interpretations of techniques. It is important to note that
Weymouth, Ellis and Moore do not have any lineage from Akiyama
Shirobei Yoshitoki, or any of his descendants or students, nor do
they claim to be a final authority on the original techniques
taught 4 centuries ago. Every Jujitsu style should be held at the
same level of respect because of the dedication of the Individual
Instructors that continue to promote the Art of Jujitsu in
general. This includes new Arts, Older Lineage Arts and Ancient
Arts. Please don't take offense if styles and systems don't match
technique to technique. The basic principles and movements should
be the common denominator in similar arts. Remember it is
important to promote unity then cause division. No matter who you
workout with, step on the mat and have fun!!! |
