Auckland Traditional Japanese Ju Jutsu

Shindō Yōshin-ryū (新道楊心流) is an ancient (koryū) Ju Jutsu school characterised by its gentle grace and natural martial movement. The curriculum incorporates a blend of armed and unarmed techniques organized into a series of teaching forms (Kata). TSYR includes a strong emphasise on sword work.

Our study group is under the direct instruction of Chris McMahon Sensei, from the TSYR Wadokan dojo in Hamilton, New Zealand.  We are annually visited by the TSYR Kaicho, Toby Threadgill, from the Honbu Dojo in Evergreen, Colorado, USA.
