Links & Resources
Below are links to training and other resources (e.g., blogs, etc.) I recommend in classical and traditional martial arts.
Kenjutsu
Ellis Amdur leads Araki-ryū torite-kogusoku and is a shihan of Tenshin Bukō-ryū. In addition, some of his students are certified as instructors in Taikyoku Araki-ryu, an offshoot of Araki-ryu torite-kogusoku. Ellis maintains the blog Kogen Budō.
Takamura-ha Shindō Yoshin-ryū is a koryu jujutsu ryuha led by Toby Threadgill, which maintains a full weapons practice. I am directly familiar with Doug Walker in Portland, OR and Michael Heiler in Washington, DC. Michael Heiler was my sponsor to the Hōbyōkan.
The Hōbyōkan of Dr. David Hall in Rockville, MD maintains a practice of Shindo Muso-ryu jo, Yagyu Shinkage-ryu heiho, and Kashima-shinden Jikishinkage-ryu kenjutsu.
I taught a small number of people independently after moving to Seattle. Tōsha Dōjō ( 闘者 道場 ) is a practice of Jikishinkage-ryu kata in Seattle led by two gentlemen I have mentored, which meets as part of a HEMA cooperative called The Lonin League.
Internal Martial Arts
Yin Cheng Gong Fa North America (YCGF) is the Chinese internal martial arts organization led by Zhang Yun laoshi, lineal disciple of the late Grandmaster Wang Peisheng. Several training groups are listed on the YCGF Group List; in addition, there are activities in Pittsburgh, PA and Bellingham, WA I can recommend.
Naido-Bujutsu Aunkai led by Akuzawa Minoru focuses on internal power development and the cultivation of a body and mind optimized for bujutsu without a focus on the execution of kata. Some of my sempai from the Hobyokan cross-train in Aunkai.
Aikido & Aiki-jujutsu
Capital Aikikai is a traditional Aikido dojo in Silver Spring, Maryland, led by Clyde Takeguchi.
The Yushinkan is a Daito-ryū Kobukan and Takumakai shibu (branch) in NYC which teaches a traditional form of aiki-jujutsu as passed down by students of Takuma Hisa.
The Ryuzukan (龍頭館) is a Daito-ryū dojo led by and Brian Wagner (4th dan) and Chris Covington (2nd dan) in Baltimore under the permission of Kondo Katsuyuki. Chris and Brian are my sempai in Jiki Shinkage-ryū; Brian is now the highest-ranking mainline Daito-ryū practitioner in the United States.
