Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu with Sensei Roy Goldberg

Daito Ryu – a 1200 year old art, which originated from the Minamoto Clan, is the parent of many Japanese martial arts, as stated by Stanley Pranin – the Chief Editor of Aikido Journal, a high ranking aikidoka and author of several texts.  He states “that categorically the major influence on the development of Aikido is Daito Ryu and it is difficult to find a movement in Aikido that does not originate in Takeda’s jujutsu form”.  The greatest disseminator of Daito Ryu was Sokaku Takeda.  One of his most senior students was Horikawa Kodo.  His emphasis to him was the highest level and most difficult Aiki techniques, which concentrate on connection with subtle Kazushi (off balancing).

Goldberg (Shingen) Sensei is the East Coast Representative of the North American Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu Kodo Kai.  Sensei is the highest ranking student of Hawayo Kiyama Shihan – The President and Chief Instructor of NADRAKK.  Goldberg’s Sensei’s goal is to pass down Daito Ryu (Japan’s National Treasure) to serious students, as presented to him by the Hombu Dojo and Kiyama Shihan.  Sensei believes that in the martial arts, one teaches only to continue his own unfinished study.

Kenjutsu with Carl Long, Kyoshi.

Ono-ha Itto-ryu is the oldest of the many Itto-ryu styles which branched off from Ittosai Kagehisa’s original art. It continues to be one of the most influential of the traditional kenjutsu styles today, exerting a major influence, upon modern kendo’s kata, tactics, and aesthetic.

From a technical standpoint this style consists of more than 150 techniques for both long and short swords. Kiri-otoshi, which translates simply as “cutting down”, is still the defining technique, like that of its parent style. Characteristically, practitioners often feel that they have the ability to strike freely due to their technique of cutting down the centre-line during an opponent’s cut in order to displace their attacker’s sword and gain victory. The style adheres to a philosophy articulated in the phrase “itto sunawachi banto” or “one sword gives rise to ten thousand swords,” meaning that a thorough understanding of the fundamental technique of cutting will lead one to understand the myriad variations.

Long, Kyoshi is the highest ranked member in the world of Jikishin Kai International, under Shimabukuro Hanshi. Long, Kyoshi is also a DNBK ID Iaido Official Coordinator. As Eastern USA Hombu-Cho and Director for the Jikishin-Kai International Long Kyoshi is responsible for the instruction and certification of Jikishin-Kai Instructors and Dojo throughout the United States of America,  Canada, Central America, South America and Europe.

Aikido with Scotti Graziosa

Aikido is performed by blending with the motion of the attacker and redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on. This requires very little physical strength, as the aikidoka (aikido practitioner) “leads” the attacker’s momentum using entering and turning movements. The techniques are completed with various throws or joint locks. Aikido can be categorized under the general umbrella of grappling arts.

Aikido derives mainly from the martial art of Daito-ryu Aiki-jujutsu, but began to diverge from it in the late 1920s, partly due to Ueshiba’s involvement with the Omoto-kyo religion. Ueshiba’s early students’ documents bear the term aiki-jujutsu. Many of Ueshiba’s senior students have different approaches to aikido, depending on when they studied with him. Today aikido is found all over the world in a number of styles, with broad ranges of interpretation and emphasis. However, they all share techniques learned from Ueshiba and most have concern for the well-being of the attacker.

Scottie Graziosa is an accomplished orthopedic surgeon in the Bronx specializing in general orthopedics and sports injuries.  Scottie started his martial arts training in 1978 in Tae Kwan Do. While a surgical resident he began training in Goju Ryu karate under sensei Al Hewitt for a number of years. In 1996 he began training under sensei Ismael Rodriguez in Genbukan Ninpo while starting his Aikido training formerly in 1999.   Scottie now continues to train humbly in traditional Aikido under sensei Douglas Firestone, student of Yamada sensei a direct student of O’sensei.
