Jojutsu(Dojo)

Jojutsu (杖術) is the Japanese martial art of the jō, a wooden staff approximately four feet (128 cm) in length. Techniques include strikes, thrusts, blocks, deflections, and controlling movements, traditionally practised in paired kata against a swordsman to develop timing, distance, and the principles of meeting a longer weapon with a shorter one. The art is transmitted today through several distinct traditions — including the koryū transmission of Shintō Musō-ryū Jōjutsu, the federation-graded Seitei Jōdō curriculum standardised by the Zen Nihon Kendō Renmei in 1968, and the Yoseikan Jo work preserved within the broader Yoseikan Traditional curriculum. Some Aikido traditions also include Jo work as part of their unified weapons curriculum, most notably the Iwama line developed by Morihiro Saito.

Jujutsu(Dojo)

Japanese Jujutsu (柔術) is a family of traditional unarmed and lightly armed combat systems developed by the samurai class of feudal Japan, with roots reaching back at least to the Muromachi period (14th–16th centuries) and a formal flourishing during the Edo period (1603–1868). The name translates as "the gentle art" or "the pliant art," referring not to softness of application but to the principle of yielding to and redirecting an opponent's force rather than meeting it directly.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)(Academy)

Grappling-based martial art that developed in Brazil through adaptation of Kodokan Judo by the Gracie family in the early 20th century. Mitsuyo Maeda, a Kodokan judoka, immigrated to Brazil in 1914 and taught judo (then often called Kano Jiu-Jitsu) to Carlos Gracie Sr. in 1917. Carlos and his brother Hélio Gracie subsequently developed and refined the art, with Hélio modifying techniques to compensate for his smaller stature and focus on leverage and technique over strength. Characterised by emphasis on ground fighting (newaza), positional control, joint locks, chokes, and the use of guards (defensive positions while on one's back).

Yoshinkan Aikido(Dojo)

Yoshinkan Aikido is a hard-style branch of Aikido founded by Gozo Shioda in Tokyo in 1955, with its Hombu Dojo in Shinjuku. Shioda was a senior pre-war student of Morihei Ueshiba, and the style preserves the technical character of Ueshiba's pre-war teaching, emphasising precise basic technique, structural alignment, low stable stances, and balance-breaking through body mechanics.
