                       Just A Note 
              Concerning Modern Yoshin Ryu Jujitsu 
         The 
              American Federation of Jujitsu (AFJ), and The International 
              Federation of Yoshin Ryu Jujitsu believes it offers the closest 
              translations to the original Yoshin Ryu Jujitsu techniques. Yoshin 
              Ryu is an old "ancient" style of Jujitsu and is therefore 
              considered "dead" by many martial arts historians. Martial Arts 
              are usually passed down from Instructor to Instructor, 
              traditionally family members. If there is a break and the art is 
              not "passed" to an heir, the lineage is broken and the art is 
              considered dead. This means that if you are intent on studying an 
              Art that has a lineage from the founding Head Instructor of that 
              Art, you should dedicate your efforts of study towards the main 
              line arts with an unbroken lineage such as Danzan Ryu, Judo or 
              Aikido, etc. However, Yoshin Ryu is interesting to research and 
              practice because it was one of the main styles used by Dr. Jigoro 
              Kano in his creation of Judo. Professor Henry Okazaki also used it 
              in the creation of Danzan Ryu Jujitsu. Shihan Weymouth, Master 
              Ellis and Master Moore, all who hold various Yudansha ranks and 
              have different backgrounds in various other styles of Jujitsu and 
              Judo, have been instrumental in studying, promoting and reviving 
              this ancient art. Their work has been to achieve a "reenactment" 
              of this ancient style through study, research and practice. Like 
              any interpretations from ancient styles, there are discrepancies 
              between different artist's interpretations of techniques. It is 
              important to note that Weymouth, Ellis and Moore do not have any 
              lineage from Akiyama Shirobei Yoshitoki, or any of his descendants 
              or students, nor do they claim to be a final authority on the 
              original techniques taught 4 centuries ago. Every Jujitsu style 
              should be held at the same level of respect because of the 
              dedication of the Individual Instructors that continue to promote 
              the Art of Jujitsu in general. This includes new Arts, Older 
              Lineage Arts and Ancient Arts. Please don't take offense if styles 
              and systems don't match technique to technique. The basic 
              principles and movements should be the common denominator in 
              similar arts. Remember it is important to promote unity then cause 
              division. No matter who you workout with, step on the mat and have 
              fun!!!

                          | "(03/22/09) - 
                      Sensei Mario Leone, from Connecticut, dropped down to 
                      review some Yoshin Ryu Jujitsu with Sensei Nate Wesner at Wesner's School of Martial Arts.  
                      This is what he had to say, "At a glance, Yoshin Ryu 
                      Jujitsu is more than just a Jujitsu system.  It is an 
                      approach that has simplicity for self defense.  The 
                      simplicity does not lie in the technique but rather in the 
                      effectiveness and approach of the technique.  You haven't learned Yoshin Jujitsu until 
                      you go train.  There is a fine line between theory 
                      and practice.  The people in the Yoshin Ryu Jujitsu 
                      system are very pleasant and get right down to business.  
                      You just need to empty your cup and look at things with 
                      White Belt eyes."   Instructors of Yoshin Ryu 
                      Jujitsu, take the time to come and train, you won't regret 
                      it. |
