Trock Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Has anyone ever heard of or trained in "Fushin Ryu "? There is very limited information on it on the internet. I have a school in my area that teaches this MA. Any information would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorinryu Sensei Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Has anyone ever heard of or trained in "Fushin Ryu "? There is very limited information on it on the internet. I have a school in my area that teaches this MA. Any information would be appreciated. Doing a Google search, it says that it's a traditional Japanese karate system "founded by Grand Master Yoshio Sugihara’s father as a kendo (sword) style", but the majority of the links (most didn't work for me though) were about New Zealand sites. I've never heard of it myself, but I live in the sticks. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"

Triangle Choke Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Fusen Ryu's major claim to fame is defeating the Kodokan in an challenge match in 1900. The style was almost entirely grappling based with an emphasis on ground fighting. After Kano's top fighters were submitted by the Fusen students, he persuaded Mataemon Tanabe (the Fusen Ryu headmaster) to teach him the art's curriculum. He then included the techniques in the newaza portion of Kodokan Judo Fusen Ryu, to the best of my knowledge, is no longer practiced. However, the principles and methods of the art are the basis for much of Brazilian (Gracie) Jiu-Jitsu as well as Kosen Judo. Fusen Ryu is historically very important because it showed that those ignorant of ground fighting would be easy prey for seasoned grapplers. The Fusen Ryu vs Kodokan results are strikingly similiar to the results of the first four UFC events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotten Head Fok Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I learn something new everyday here, thanks guys! Fosen Ryu or Fusin Ryu comes from Japan ? What makes it stand out from other grappling styles ? You must be stable and balanced in your foot work, if you have to use your martial knowledge in combat, your intent should be to win. If you do strike, you must release great power! The martial arts are easy to learn, but difficult to correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
