UNRYU DOJO
Grandmaster Tanemura named our school, 雲 龍 Unryu. Unryu is composed of two characters, 雲 un (cloud) and 龍 ryu (dragon). In Japan, the dragon is a symbol of the masculine, power, and the emperor. Therefore, Unryu is a very auspicious name, literally “Dragon in the Clouds." On the surface, Unryu refers to a dragon-shaped cloud, but on a deeper level, because clouds are associated with heaven, Unryu is a divine dragon. |

FUTEN SHIBU

Mr. Coleman occasionally offers Shibukai (regional seminars) that provide instruction in Soke's gendai (modern) and koryu (old-school) martial arts.
