About Zen Bu Kan
About Zen Bu Kan Zen Bu Kan is an iaido dojo of the Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu lineage located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Zen Bu Kan was started by Jules Harris Sensei. Having studied in New York, Harris Sensei moved to Utah to study Zen at the renowned Kanzeon Zen Center in Salt Lake City. A scholar, warrior, and spiritual leader; Harris Sensei taught without thought of personal gain, only to pass on the lineage. He moved back East, to Pennsylvania, to further his spiritual studies. Zen Bu Kan is now led by his students Jason Hankins Sensei and Dick Beckstead Sensei. More recently, Zen Bu Kan has begun to teach kendo under the direction of Robert Stroud Sensei, 7th dan renshi. Stroud Sensei leads a dojo in Boise, Idaho, and serves as a kendo mentor and instructor to Zen Bu Kan’s sensei. Iaido students at Zen Bu Kan begin by learning the basic fundamentals of iaido. Having learned the fundamentals, students then begin to learn the twelve Seitei kata. The Seitei kata are the standard by which iaido practitioners (iaidoka) world-wide begin their training and upon which they are tested. Eventually, students move on to learn the Omori-Ryu and Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu kata. Zen Bu Kan does not operate for profit and is solely supported by its students at cost. This allows the school to keep the price of tuition to a minimum, but it also means that the school is heavily dependant upon its students to remain in operation. The students form both the body and the support staff of the school. -

Numéro Spécial Minoru Mochizuki Le Temps, Invisible, Incompressible Mais Toujours Présent, Accompagne Le Cycle De La Vie
Numéro spécial Minoru Mochizuki Le Temps, invisible, incompressible mais toujours présent, accompagne le cycle de la vie. Pour chacun de nous ce cycle d’inégale longueur est inscrit dans ses registres où il forme un sillon plus ou moins profond. La mémoire est la gardienne de ce sillon. Par la force, cette mémoire associée à la profondeur de ce sillon peut permettre à ce dernier de rester à jamais ouvert et de faire œuvre d’immortalité. L’importance que j’attachais à l’image de cet homme, de ce grand maître du Budo japonais, fut – peut-être sans qu’il ne le sache vraiment – pour beaucoup dans mon entê- tement à vouloir préserver son “apport martial”, me conduisant ainsi à créer le 19 décembre 1974 un nouveau groupement d’Aiki nommé “CERA”, véritables fonts baptismaux de notre cher Aikibudo. Son nom est gravé en lettres d’Or dans le grand livre de notre histoire, aux cotés de celui de Jim Alcheik – in æternum – dont le décès prématuré modifia à jamais le cours de ma propre histoire et de celle de l’Aiki- do-jujutsu du Yoseikan, aboutissant à sa disparition progressive et à la naissance de l’Aikibudo et du Yoseikan-budo au sein desquels il perdure plus ou moins et sous divers aspects. Ainsi, la vie ne s’arrête jamais, elle est toujours là, présente, prête à resurgir ou à rebondir. La confiance c’est l’espoir et l’espoir c’est la vie. Alain Floquet Minoru Mochizuki, mon maître. Un enseignement fondé sur la justice, le partage, l’entraide et le respect des autres on arrière grand-père était de la classe des samouraïs, tout comme l’était ciant au fruit de son expérience sous le nom d’Aikido-jujutsu. -

La Genèse De L'aïkibudo©
La genèse de l’Aïkibudo© Tradition et Evolution L’Aïkibudo est un art original issu du vécu, du parcours martial et de l’enseignement de Maître Alain FLOQUET, dont il nous livre dans les lignes qui suivent la genèse et l’histoire. La gestation de l’Aiki-Jujutsu Yoseikan La pratique du maître Maitre Mochizuki s’appuie sur une expérience martiale hors du commun et pour une grande partie acquise avant que le Professeur Jigoro Kano ne lui confie la mission d’aller étudier le Daïto Ryu Jujutsu au Dojo du Maître Ueshiba en 1930. Après avoir pratiqué le Judo et le Kendo dans son enfance, il fut accepté en 1924 comme élève dans la section judo du dojo du Professeur Toku Sanpo, puissant judoka disciple du Judo Kodokan, par ailleurs escrimeur hors pair, avec qui il put pratiquer le Kendo. Kendo qu’il étudia également avec Nakayama Hakudo Sensei élève du célèbre escrimeur Takano Sasaburo. Il s’était également engagé dans l’école de Jujutsu « Gyokushin Ryu (玉心 : esprit sphérique) » où il étudia sous la direction du Soke Oshima Sanjuro et dont il reçut en 1925 le Mokuroku Menkyo. Ce fut pour lui une exceptionnelle occasion d'étudier les Te Waza (techniques de bras), les Koshi Waza (techniques de hanches) et ce qui deviendra une des richesses de l’Aikido-Jujutsu du Yoseikan (et donc de l’Aikibudo) les Sutemi Waza. Dans l’environnement de Toku Sanpo Sensei, il devint disciple principal et Uchi Deshi du célèbre et raffiné Kyuzo Mifune Sensei, immense spécialiste du Sutemi Waza, et disciple du Professeur Jigoro Kano. -
Ho-Ei Juku 宝 英 塾 Reference Manual
Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Iai Jutsu 無 双 直 伝 英 真 流 居 合 術 Ho-Ei Juku 宝 英 塾 Reference Manual Brian Hinchliffe 1 Front Cover Photo; Taken in 2001 with Morinaka Sensei, early one foggy morning in a mountain temple near Hiroshima. 2 Acknowledgements Sensei Oe Masamichi (1852-1927) This manual would not have been possible without significant contributions by so many people in my martial arts life, both teachers and students. Therefore, I would like firstly to thank my principal teacher, Morinaka Masakatsu Sensei (8th Dan), founder of the Ho Sei Juku, based in Ozu, Ehime Prefecture, for his endless support and guidance in Iai Jutsu since the 1990s. Sadly, he passed away in April 2013. I have also been fortunate to have trained with and learnt from so many other senior instructors in Japan, the UK, the USA and around the world – and to them all, I am forever indebted. As I began Judo and Karate training in 1972, I have been able to train over the years with literally thousands of people as peers, students and teachers. When I began teaching Karate in 1985, it was exciting to work with my own students and watch them evolve. Some of those early students are still training with me now and each one of them has helped in keeping me going through good times and bad, so I owe a massive thank you not just to my teachers, but also to those who have decided, whether for a short time, or longer, to train with the Ho Ei Juku group. -

Half a Century IX
Half a Century IX About fifty pages of thoughts from Kim Taylor. Beginning March, 2013 SDKsupplies.com Copyright © 2018 Kim Taylor All Rights Reserved Half a Century IX pg 1 Kim Taylor (that's me) is a long time martial artist living in Guelph Ontario. I've written a couple dozen books on the subject, several scholarly articles, edited several magazines and generally done what I can to spread the word. Having tried all that, I also post short essays on the 'net and these have been collected here for your convenience. Since I'm only offering these in ebook form the formatting is pretty simple, one might even say "default". Most of these will cover the martial arts that I am concerned with, Aikido, Iaido, Jodo, Niten Ichiryu and a couple more which will probably get mentioned along the way. If you don't know about them there are loads of resources available on the 'net. You will also find a lot of martial arts jargon. Again I refer you to the 'net where you will find definitions of most of the words I use. I don't expect there will be many non-budo types reading this so I'm not going to worry about defining the foreign words or even identifying them as foreign by, for instance, putting them in italics. My book, my rules. If someone out there figures this stuff could be edited into a proper book and published, get in touch if you've got the editor, I thought about it once but would rather write something new than edit something already written.
