An introduction on Hontai Yoshin Ryu (koryu.com) |
|
|
Guy wrote a series of 3 articles on Hontai Yoshin Ryu for koryu.com. First the school is introduced (Part 1), followed by a description of jujutsu in more detail (Part 2), and finally by a reflection on the long and never ending journey (Part 3).
After finishing these 3 articles we realised that an additional article on "iai-jutsu" was useful. |

The history of Hontai Yoshin Ryu |
|
|
The only official source for the history of our school is the site of the sohonbu dojo in Japan (www.hontaiyoshinryu.com ). Nevertheless our own notes have been written down in the illustrated History of Hontai Yoshin Ryu (the lineage of the school is also included). The tekst has been updated in August 2010. |

A Dictionary/Glossary related to Hontai Yoshin Ryu |
|
|
In this glossary, an explanation of most entries has been provided. We hope this glossary (dictionary) turned out to be more than yet another alphabetic list of words commonly used in BUDO. Although not yet finished, we decided to already give access to the PDF and we will update the document on a regular basis.
A translation (and explanation) of the names of the techniques in the different KATA of the school (the official curriculum as taught by INOUE Kyoichi Munenori, the 19th generation SOKE) is also available but this document is intended for students of Hontai Yoshin Ryu only. |
