Hoshin Roshi Ryu
A hybrid art consisting of techniques drawn from Ninjitsu and Jujitsu developed by the late Glenn J Morris, PhD an organisational psychologist. The system aims to combine knowledge of philosophy and martial arts to create a complete system for mental and physical self protection. Although trained as a Western psychologist, the founder was interested in Daoist philosophy and esoteric writings.
Practitioners are encouraged to draw from a wide range of philosophical and esoteric practices, courses on Reiki, Shamanism, Massage and Shiatsu are taught alongside self-defence techniques.
Physical combat as a method of self-defence is used only as a last resort and techniques are designed to be simple and effective drawing heavily from the leverage principles as used in Taijutsu.
Students once accepted into the system are offered the coloured patch and coloured belt, training during the class focuses on the practising of techniques and their actual application as opposed to the memorisation of Kata.
