Associated with the Genbukan Honbu Dojo is the
Kokusai Jūjutsu Renmei (KJJR - the meaning is
International Jūjutsu Federation). It was established by
Tanemura Shōtō-sōke in 1991 for the preservation and
transmission of authentic Japanese jūjutsu (柔術
- techniques of yielding/softness). Unfortunately today, very few
jūjutsu schools outside of Japan practice what could be
considered authentic jūjutsu. Having lost the connection
with their Japanese roots, they have evolved into eclectic arts.
The purpose of the KJJR is to make available training to those
who seek traditional jūjutsu.
The following are a few of the ryūha from which the KJJR
bases its knowledge from:
• Hontai Yōshin Takagi-ryū jūjutsu (a.k.a. Hontai Takagi Yōshin-ryū)
• Tenshin Hyōhō Kukishin-ryū jūjutsu
• Asayama Ichiden-ryū taijutsu
• Shinden Tatara-ryū taijutsu
• Bokuden-ryū jūjutsu
• Yagyū Shingan-ryū heihō kacchū yawara
• Nihonden Tenshin Ko-ryū kenpō (a.k.a. Shintō Tenshin-ryū)
• Itten Ryūshin Chukai-ryū jūjutsu
• Araki Shin-ryū jūjutsu
• Daitō-ryū (Yamamoto-Ha) aiki-jūjutsu
