NI TATSU-RYU is the name Shihan Price created for his system of development of multiple systems of training.
Defined: NI stands for two, TATSU stands for dragon, Ryu stands for system. In the Juko-Ryu Kempo Jujutsu system: JU stands for soft and KO stands for hard. The system has techniques that are Soft (ju) and many that are Hard (ko). We train the old way, not flashy or fancy, but techniques that are the most effective. This is the way Ni Tatsu-Ryu; from the old school ways of yesterday, with today´s acquired knowledge of cross training (MMA). For more information about the techniques of the art see: “The Gentle art”
The Jujutsu training is MMA itself, with Judo, Karate and Aikido all in one. Still, our heart and soul is deeply rooted in “Japanese Jujutsu”, The Art of the Samurai. They were true bodyguards, Masters of many styles of Martial Arts; including the Sword (Katana).
“The Jujutsu training is MMA itself, with Judo, Karate and Aikido all in one” – Shihan Price
“To master Ki training; means to master oneself” – Shihan Price
Also involved in the training of the mind and body is the healing side of Martial Arts. This is the side of Martial Arts training that has been lost through years, especially in the US. Shihan Price believes this is as important as the fighting aspect, learning how to self-heal your own body. Most Martial Arts schools have very little training in the healing side and this is where loss occurs in most schools, over injuries. Teaching a student to heal through proper exercise, rehabilitation of injuries, herbology and spinal manipulation is the master level of training. This is a true master of the arts, not just an individual´s ultimate fighting technique.
“Ni Tatsu-Ryu is more than just a Martial Art system; it is knowledge, wisdom, understanding, courage, respect and self-confidence.” – Shihan Price
We can explain to you this, our school is a non-commercial, self-defence, combat oriented system. We train for one on one altercations or multiple attackers. There are no rules in combat; any technique that works is a good technique. Belt rank is earned, not just a a paid part of the program.
