IN-PERSON CLASSES

Unryu Dojo has resumed in-person classes with certain restrictions, including appropriate health and safety protocols. At in-person classes, students can learn the full range of Genbukan martial arts.
Two types of martial arts classes are routinely offered:
  1. Core class provides instruction in the GWNF-KJJR foundational gendai systems (unarmed, sword, and staff), with rank testing in these arts.
  2. Core Supplement class provides a deep dive into the GWNF-KJJR gendai systems, both core and specialized arts, and their koryu sources.
SELF DEFENSE ART (go-shin-jutsu)
In addition to formal martial arts, we offer 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 an assault 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. Self-defense techniques address a wide range of unarmed and armed assaults. Also, students learn how to use practical hand tools—stick, pen, keychain fob, etc.—which enhance the efficacy of a self-defense technique.
