Seibukan Jujutsu Club
We are devoted to practicing the martial art of Seibukan Jujutsu. Seibukan is an art form which takes into account the needs of the modern day warrior. Practitioners will learn to protect them selves from one, or multiple, armed, or unarmed assailants. The physical component of Seibukan Jujutsu stems from techniques developed on the samurai battlefield in feudal Japan. These techniques have been updated to suit the modern day situation but they still remain very real and very effective. Practitioners work with the use and disarming of various weapons, we practice subduing attackers through joint manipulation, we learn to efficiently use our bodies through kicks and strikes and maintaining good posture and carriage, and we foster our self empowerment and self confidence through which we learn to resolve conflicts before they begin. The philosophical aspect of Seibukan Jujutsu is practiced through the use of Awareness, Assessment, and Appropriate Action, through which students will learn how to assert them selves peacefully and powerfully to resolve a conflict with minimal injury to the assailants while protecting themselves.
About the Club
Generally the sequence of classes are as follows:
1. Start the meeting by bowing to each other
2. Warm up with stretches
3. Drill our various strikes
4. Work on rolls and break falls
5. Work on the techniques in the kihon waza (our basic form that serves as the foundation for other techniques)
6. Work on other techniques as time permits
Seibukan Jujutsu is a powerful martial art solely based on his physical techniques. However, I believe that the more powerful aspect lies in the philosophy which I will try to impart as best I can during classes. My intention is not to teach students how to be fighters. I believe that compared to the person who wins a thousand fights, the one who never fights at all is the better warrior.
The president, Adam Channel, has been studying Seibukan Jujutsu for 7 years and currently holds a 1st degree blackbelt.
Here is a video of his shodan demonstration.
