Home arrow Styles Taught
What styles of martial arts are taught at The San Diego Budokai?

Yamate-ryu aikijutsu: an empty hand combat art, one of the lines that decends from the Daito-ryu.


Itto Tenshin-ryu kenjutsu: a sword fighting school from the Edo period of Japan with roots going back to earlier styles.


Muso Jikiden Eishin-ryu iaido
: a very old style of sword that initially concentrates on the batto (drawing and cutting).  As part of this we also do Hiken Muso-ryu iaigirido, a newer off shoot, that is the cutting (tameshigiri) application.

Students are only allowed to study one art until they become proficient, usually sometime after shodan (first dan ).  At that time they may be allowed to start a second study.  If you have not studied any martial arts, and are not sure which one to start with, it is usually recommended you start with aikijutsu.
