Iaijutsu classes

Iaijutsu is a combative quick-draw sword technique. This art of drawing the Japanese sword (katana) is one of the Japanese basic martial art disciplines in the education of the classical samurai. Ryūshin Shouchi-ryū is a kobudō (ancient martial art) school specialized in iaijutsu. This system is based on the traditional fencing originated in the Kanto area, later extended to Kyushu and other areas of Japan. It is composed of 60 kata of Iai, kumitachi of Kenjutsu, kumitachi of Iai, tachitori and tantōtori. The forms passed down by this style exude the wisdom, discipline, and determination of many masters and accomplished practitioners for hundreds of years, and it has been a major challenge of great importance to transmit these forms correctly generation after generation.

Judo classes

Judo is a martial art from Japan, created 150 years ago by master Jigoro Kano. Judo means “the way of softness”, and it is based on a set of stand-up self-defense techniques (throws) and ground grappling self-defense techniques (immobilisations, dislocations, and strangulations).

Jigoro Kano’s main objective was the education and training of young people. He adapted the most effective and least harmful techniques from various traditional Japanese martial arts to an educational environment; all this without losing the essence and values ​​of budo to create a school where academic education and the practice of judo were combined.

Jigoro Kano defined judo as “mutual aid and prosperity”, and “the optimal use of energy”. The moral code of judo is summarised in: courtesy, courage, sincerity, honor, modesty, respect, self-control, and friendship.

Judo has a competitive side that became an Olympic sport at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
