Nihon Goshin Kempo Ju Jutsu Kai was established in the late 1980's when it was known as Goshin Kempo Ju Jutsu Kai.
The style was founded after several years of research into traditional Okinawan and Chinese martial arts systems and later Japanese arts which stemmed from them such as Japanese Karate.
Whilst we were originally a Kempo Karate Group our study of and incorporation of these other arts lead us away from the world of Karate and more deeply into the world of Budo. Although traditional Kempo techniques remained as an important root and formed an important part of the syllabus much emphasis was placed on practical modern day usage of martial arts techniques. The style became a fairly comprehensive system.
In order to learn more of the history of Nihon Goshin Kempo Ju Jutsu Kai and how it became split into its two divisons known as Hakuda Ryu Kempo and Nihon Go Shin Kage Ryu see the page on this site called Hakuda Ryu Kempo History: Influences

In order to further develop the grappling aspect of Kempo known as Tuite we became involved with Ju Jutsu groups in Britain in order to enhance our grappling skills, this led through membership of these organisations a need to incorporate a number of modern Ju Jutsu techniques alongside some of the more traditional Okinawan and Chinese Kempo, Tuite and Japanese Ju Jutsu techniques that could be found in our syllabus. The influence of the more modern Japanese styles of Ju Jutsu (Known as Gendai) and Aikido and its impact on modern Karate and the impact of Karate on Ju Jutsu was also taken into account leading to further investigation of these specific disciplines. This led to more emphasis on the following categories of techniques:
Kansetsu Waza: Locking techniques that can be found in Kempo, Tuite, Ju Jutsu and Taiho Jutsu.
Kote Waza: Wrist techniques including all locks and throws applied to the wrist as can be found in Tuite, Ju Jutsu, Aikido and Taiho Jutsu.
Nage Waza: Throwing techniques this includes hip throws, shoulder throws, sacrifice throws. These techniques can be found in Kempo, Tuite, Ju Jutsu and Judo. The throws in these arts can be sub- divided into Te Waza (Hand), Koshi Waza (Hip), Ashi Waza (Sweeps).

Shiai Jutsu: Contest
|
|
|
|
|
Shiai Jutsu: The word Shiai can stand to mean contest. Shiai Jutsu is the art of taking part in a a contest in order to test the ability of the practitioner. A Shiai involves two participants one of whom is the initial attacker and the other defends. A pre-determined and set number of attacks are made in a specified time period which must be defended against by using a choice of various techniques that are determined before the contest takes place. The attacker thus has a range of attacks that may be used, although the defender knows what these attacks are in the set they do not know which attack will be used or when.
Counters are allowed by both parties in a Shiai contest. The types of techniques used in Shiai are striking techniques by the initial attacker, striking and throwing techniques by the person who defends, counters consist of striking and throwing techniques for both parties and a contest is only won by points which demonstrate a hold down, simulated break or dislocation. A Shiai set used by the initial defender means that techniques of defence come from a particular category i.e. Leg sweeps, Hip Throws, Wrist techniques. Shiai is now part of Hakuda Ryu Kempo Jutsu only.
