2. You Want Koryu? Come To Japan When I read Roger Lake s reaction (see page 6) to Meik s comment in a recent column, You want koryu? You come to Japan, I experienced a strong sense of http://www.koryu.com/library/dskoss1.html

You want koryu Come to Japan! by Diane Skoss Introduction by Columnist Meik Skoss Several of my statements in recent columns have provoked comment by AJ readers, particularly Messrs. Lake and Baluja, which merit a response. I had intended to reply to both of these gentleman (see page 7), but in discussing these "letters to the editor" with Diane, I found her chain of thought regarding the practice of koryu bujutsu to be a good deal more cogent than mine (I won't burden you with details of how often this proves to be the case). Further, she wanted to convey her thoughts to all of you who read this column, and has done so in a way that I envy. Here she is: When I read Roger Lake's reaction (see page 6) to Meik's comment in a recent column, "You want koryu ? You come to Japan," I experienced a strong sense of deja vu . Six years ago, when Meik and I first started training together in jukendo, he often made startlingat least to me at that timeproclamations of this sort, and expressed strong opinions about who should have access to, or even authoritative information about, the Japanese classical martial arts. It was more than merely an utter lack of interest in sharing his own expertise (I was trying to talk him into writing some articles at the time); his comments seemed to indicate a policy of deliberate obstruction. I was horrified by his attitude. Now I'm beginning to see his point. Part of the problem lies in a widespread misunderstanding of the nature of the Japanese

Koryū From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search For a list of martial arts schools that are considered koryū, see List of koryū schools of martial arts Koryū Centuries of feudal warfare in Japan , and the desire to perfect the skills for war, led to the creation of the traditional schools of Japanese martial arts Japanese name Kanji Hiragana Transliterations Revised Hepburn koryū Koryū Koryū is a Japanese word that is used in association with the ancient Japanese martial arts . This word literally translates as " old school " or "traditional school". Koryū is a general term for Japanese schools of martial arts that predate the Meiji Restoration (the period from to which sparked major socio-political changes and led to the modernization of Japan ). While there is no "official" cutoff date, the dates most commonly used are either 1868, the first year of the Meiji period , or 1876, when the Haitōrei edict banning the wearing of swords was pronounced. The systems of Japanese martial arts that post-date the Meiji Restoration are known as gendai budō . The most well known of these arts include judo kendo , some schools of iaidō , and aikido . These newer systems are commonly valued as sports or arts for self-improvement. The koryū systems of martial arts, however, are commonly far more revered as they are considered the teachings of the true Japanese martial arts, due to the fact that they were formed from Japan's

6. JAPANESE KITE COLLECTION There are three types of Nagoya koryu. Those are a horsefly(Abu) type, a cicada(Semi) Mr.Masaaki Satoh is an outstanding kite builder of Nagoya koryu. http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~ET3M-TKKW/koryu.html

Last up date:1998/08/01 THE GREAT WORKS OF NAGOYA KORYU This page was generated with permission of Mr.Masaaki Satoh, the author of the book "Nagoya Koryu dako". There are three types of Nagoya Koryu. Those are a horsefly(Abu) type, a cicada(Semi) type and a bee(Hachi) type in their configuration. The Nagoya Koryu shows an excellent flight feature in a strong wind such as 5m/s to 15m/s and have a hummer with high pitched sound. Although the height of the kite usually does not exceed more than 60 cm, the flight stability in the strong wind is very excellent. The building technique is very difficult because it needs a supurior craftmanship and experiences. Mr.Masaaki Satoh is an outstanding kite builder of Nagoya koryu. Following kites are his great works. The frame constructon and dimension of typical Abu dako is shown in the last of this page.

Koryu Roshi succeeded to the Dharma of Joko Roshi, who, distressed by what he saw as the corruption of the priesthood, created the Shakyamuni Kai as a lay Rinzai group based in Tokyo (Hannya Dojo) with a training center on Mt.

Home Tatsumi ryu Buko ryu Gallery ... About Us Classical Martial Arts Training The classical Japanese martial arts known as 'koryu bujutsu' were developed by and for the bushi, or warrior class of Japan, and have a lineage that runs back through each headmaster to the founder of the tradition. As a general rule of thumb, to be considered koryu, an art should be able to trace its founding to prior to the Meiji Restoration (1868). Melbourne Koryu Kenkyukai provides classes in two of the classical martial arts of Japan, Tatsumi ryu Hyoho and Toda-ha Buko ryu. Tatsumi ryu studies the use of the Japanese sword and includes iai, kenjutsu, sojutsu, yawara, bo, hanbo and naginata. Pictured is (left) Kato Hiroshi, 22nd Headmaster of Tatsumi ryu and (right) Saito Masaru Sensei, a senior exponent of Tatsumi ryu Toda Ha Buko ryu naginata-jutsu involves the use of naginata against naginata and also naginata against the sword, the spear, and the chain and sickle. Please see our classes page for training information We will also have available a range of koryu books and martial arts supplies available at our online shop under construction.

Kickbacks Koryu Books and Resources Winter 2002, V.10.6 Koryu, (literally, "old style") martial arts is relatively rare in the West, but it is making inroads as more and more students study in Japan and return to their homes with valid teaching licenses. There's been a dearth of really good koryu books available until recently, most especially due to the efforts of Diane and Meik Skoss, at Koryu Books . But there are also other resources. If you end up in the used book street in Kanda, Tokyo, there's a couple of books you should try to dig up. We've included Japanese language and English language books in case you want to wade through the Japanese to dig up some really great gems of knowledge.
