HISTORY OF FUJI RYU TAIJUTSU

Fuji Ryu Taijutsu was founded by Grandmaster Fujito Koga in 1952 and is rooted in Grandmaster Soukaku Takeda's Daito Ryu Jujutsu.  The beauty of being rooted in this particular style is that from it evolved the three very distinct styles of Grandmaster Morihei Ueshiba's Aikido, Grandmaster Houken Inoue's Shinwa Taido and Grandmaster Koga’s Fuji Ryu Taijutsu.  Grandmaster Inoue and Grandmaster Koga were training partners and traveled throughout Japan honing and teaching their advanced techniques to the different law enforcement agencies and during this time, Fuji Ryu Taijutsu was born.

In 1991 Grandmaster Koga passed the position of Grandmaster to Master Koshiro Tanaka, who then went on to develop over 1000 techniques that form the curriculum for the school today.  Grandmaster Tanaka has traveled throughout the world teaching and training elite military and police forces in countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Myanmar, Thailand (the Narcotics Suppression Bureau, Royal Thai Police), Vietnam, Philippines (the Philippine National Police, SWAT), Kuwait (Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy), Tibet (The Dalai Lama's security), and The United States. Master Takeuchi has been fortunate to accompany Grandmaster Tanaka on many of his trips and it was at Grandmaster Tanaka's recommendation that Master Takeuchi moved from Tokyo to New York City to open Fuji Ryu's first U.S. branch.

 You may remember Master Takeuchi from his seminar assisting Master Tanaka at Chamberlain Studios in 2006 and from the seminar in 2009 below!
