CLASSES

Post-COVID, Genbukan Unryu Dojo has resumed classes with certain restrictions, including appropriate health and safety protocols. At in-person classes, students can learn the full range of Genbukan martial arts.
In addition, Unryu Dojo offers students an opportunity to attend class remotely. Remote learning offers a convenient, low-cost way to participate in training. Remote attendance is by appointment only. Begin by contacting the dojo-cho to discuss your interest, then visit the online Dojo Store to register for a class.
Three types of classes are routinely offered:
  1. Core classes provide instruction in the GWNF-KJJR foundational gendai systems -- unarmed, sword, and staff -- with rank testing in these arts. During the first hour we focus on the core unarmed martial arts (Jujutsu, Taijutsu, and Karate) and the second hour, the core weapon arts (Bikenjutsu and Bojutsu).
  2. Morning Jo and Basic Training offer students an opportunity to practice basic kata alongside an instructor. The focus of these classes is on strengthening basic skills through repetition. These classes may be attended remotely.
  3. Goshinjutsu (AoSD) classes provide instruction in practical or "street" self-defense. The Art of Self-Defense (AOSD) is not a martial art but a practical self-defense system that teaches (1) How to avoid an assault through a prevention strategy, and, (2) How to escape a physical attack using simple yet effective self-defense techniques. AOSD covers a wide range of potentially vulnerable/dangerous situations occurring at home, school/work, and while traveling. Also, students learn how to use practical hand tools—stick, pen, keychain fob, etc.—which can increase the efficacy of any self-defense technique.
