JUJUTSU
Jujutsu is the classical unarmed art of the samurai. Though it has several incarnations in today's modern martial arts world, Jujutsu at Shin Dojo is taught, and has been taught for 20 years, in the tradition of classical battlefield Japanese Budo.
Jujutsu utilizes off-balance, mis-direction, re-direction, distraction, atemi (striking), joint locking, and throwing techniques.
Our Jujutsu program is in the tradition of several classical Jujutsu styles. It is classified as a gendai (modern era) self defense method but is grounded in koryu philosophy. Sensei Rivers has a 4th Degree Black Belt in Sogo Kempo Jutsu as well as a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Toraken Ryu Jujutsu and a 2nd Degree Black Belt in Hakko Ryu Jujutsu. He has received training in other Jujutsu disciplines such as Daito Ryu, Jigen Ryu, and Aikido.
