"Bring about righteousness through the techniques of perfecting the mind and body." -Shihan Drucker, Myo Fu An Dojo

Our PhilosophyMost Martial Arts of today have drifted away from the combat realities of the past, and have become focused on specific areas of study. Bujutsu, however, continues to cover a wide range of skills relating to personal protection. The origin of Bujutsu stems from our need to protect precious life, what we hold valuable, and bring about righteousness through the techniques of perfecting the mind and body. The goal of training in Bujutsu is to increase your odds of surviving any and all types of threatening situations. Being prepared for a wide range of possible threats requires more than just memorizing and practicing and a list of mechanical moves. In Myofu An Bujutsu the technical training, while quite effective on the physical level, serves a greater purpose as a means of developing appropriate physical and mental attitudes and approaches for dealing with all manners of problems, predictable or sudden. Bujutsu does not refer to a specific style, but more to a group of arts, each with a different point of view expressed by the individual Ryu or school. Bujutsu includes the study of both unarmed and armed combat live techniques, strategy, philosophy, and history. The main principles learned are posture, distance, rhythm and flow. By learning these principles you will not only learn to defend yourself but will instill a sense of calm and confidence that will radiate through all channels of your life in a positive way. Authentic Samurai and Ninja Unarmed and Weapons Based Systems Tailored for the types of situations one is likely to encounter in the world we live in today, but taught virtually unchanged from the ancient methods passed down for the last thousand years.Come experience what it was like to train as a Samurai Warrior or Mystic Ninja Spy and Assassin from one of the few schools to offer this rare glimpse into the ancient styles with a legitimate heritage and lineage linked to the Master Teachers of Feudal Japan.

Survival Skills

Survival Skills Lead by Master Tracker Jeff Rychwa

Our goal is to introduce students to the workings of the natural world through experiences of immersion through the ancient skills of primitive survival, while merging modern scientific awareness of the life and systems around us. We will use field guides, stories, awareness, journaling and mapping as integral elements that foster education and connection.We are interested in more than simply passing down the skills of wilderness survival, though, so the intention is to help students become proficient in the skills in order to attain an aptitude of wilderness LIVING. We're interested in facilitating a connection with the environment personally, but also through nurturing community amongst humans and the wildlife with whom we share the planet.We encourage community growth and learning because that is how humans, as social beings, learn best. We emulate role models, elders, people we respect, and if we see our culture respect our world and each other, then we will pattern our actions and ethics based upon those attributes.Training focuses on exploring relationships between ourselves and the Whole of Nature, with each other, and with all beings, so that we can utilize our skills and foster self-sufficiency, confidence, and awareness that allows us to refine ourselves and understand how we inherently fit in to the natural flow. In other words, through the honing of our physical skills, and through the cultivation of our wisdom (knowledge and experience) and our spiritual ethics and connections, we can peel away layers of our societal roles and characters and find our true place and purpose in the natural world, thus, revealing our natural selves...the deeply rooted part of us of which we can easily lose sight in our modern settings.It is our intention to restore and pass down the Original Instructions of living in balance with our environment and each other, in a true sense of sustainability by adapting ourselves to our world rather than constantly trying to adapt our world to ourselves, in order that we maintain the integrity of crucial systems and species and preserve the welfare of our future generation through a way of living in constant Thanksgiving.The goal here isn't just to teach you how to use the Earth in order to survive, but rather to use yourself to help the Earth live, so that our progeny--the future generations of all beings--are left with the best legacy we can leave them.

Curriculum CurriculumAt Myo Fu An Dojo each person is encouraged to go at their own pace and is fully supported in finding their own way, as opposed to simply mimicking a regimen of mechanical techniques. Finding and expanding your personal limits, developing the ability to choose the most appropriate response for a given situation, and a new found sense of being firmly grounded and in balance are all important goals of the training. As your skills improve, confidence grows and, with it, humility and peace of mind. Whether escaping a violent confrontation or pursuing and attaining your life goals, Budo is first and foremost a state of mind.Some areas in our program include defense against * Punching / kicking attacks * Grappling attacks * Choke holds and restraints * Sexual assaults * Knife attacks * Stick / club attackersOther skills you will develop: * Throws / takedowns / restraints * Use of traditional and modern weapons * Wilderness survival * Meditation for awareness * Emotional control and relaxationTraining will include developing skills in Taihenjutsu (Body Changing Skills) which include: falling, rolling, leaping, posture, and avoidance; Dakentaijutsu (Striking Weapons Body Technique) using the entire body as a striking tool / weapon.; and Jutaijutsu (Supple Body Techniques) locks, throws, chokes, as well as how to apply and escape from holds. In the early stages of training Kata is provided as an example of what can be done in a given application. However, as the practitioner progresses they are encouraged to explore the openings which naturally appear in peoples movements and apply spontaneous techniques based on the principles contained within the Kata. This free flowing style is one of the most important aspects of Bujutsu training.Curriculum will include: * Sanshin no Kata or five elements training* Kihon Happo the eight basic techniques which are said to be the origin of all Budo* TenChi Jin Ryaku no Maki heaven, earth and man techniques taken from all the various Ryu* Weapons such as Hanbo, Jo, Rokushakubo (staffs of various lengths), Shuriken, Tanto, Kodachi, Ninjato, Katana, Tachi, Naginata, Yari (bladed weapons of various lengths), Kusarifundo, Nawa (ropes and chains).

Jeff Rychwa

ABOUT
Jeff Rychwa (Ten Fires)Recovery and Fugitive Tracking--with the highlight of his training from The Tracker School, Inc. in New Jersey. Jeff has been an avid participant in the Kamana Naturalist Training program of the Wilderness Awareness School for over fifteen years, as well. It became his passion to study the kinesiology, energy, and physics involved in the making of tracks, patterns, and signs, based upon one mentor's story of how it could be done and not only to live in the wilderness, but with it, as if time had stopped thousands of years ago. Since then, Jeff has spent a year living primitively with the land, and he has also begun to develop his own research into the art and science of Tracking. Jeff recognized a philosophical trinity of universal elements in his early studies: The physical relationships of nature, which can be honed by the martial arts and mimicking movements of wildlife; the inherent awareness of bio-ecology and wildlife cultures, awakened by the implementation of primitive living skills; finally, the reverence for the spirit that moves through all things, the Oyasin, or passion, to understand ourselves, our place, as the culmination of evolution and an inextricable part of nature. These three aspects unified to form a firm check-and-balance system for Jeff's education and also to enhance and extend every learning experience into their natural applications. For example, a footprint that used to be an impression on the ground became a ledger of an animal's movement, thought, internal function, its connection to its environment, and its spirit. The tracks tell stories about the animals' lives and how they fit into the whole, and through studying the tracks, the web of life begins to appear one strand at a time.Jeff went further to achieve high ranking in several martial arts styles, including Kajukenbo, Aiki-jitsu, Shaolin Chin-Na, and Aikido, and served during Desert Storm in the United States Air Force as a Fire Protection & Rescue Specialist. He left with an Honorable Discharge.Now Jeff lives in New Hampshire with his wife Tara and their three sons.He spends his days honing various skills practicing all facets of primitive living, along with other hobbies, such as: whip-cracking, roping, archery, drawing, writing, and music. The name "Ten Fires" was given to Jeff by a dear friend--a brother--who is of the Ouichita nation, who said that Jeff , "...has the passion of not just one, but ten fires burning in his heart to protect Nature and our grandchildren." Jeff teaches workshops, at MyoFu An as well as his own school C.R.O.W. Survival LLC, including Lostproofing for children, to anyone who has a genuine passion, or Oyasin, to learn about nature and how we can become children of the Earth once again.

Self Protection for Children

Kosen Judo Kosen JudoThis program is one of the only of its kind!!! Sanctioned by the International Kosen Judo Federation and taught by one of the highest ranked senior instructors of Kosen Judo outside of Japan.Judo, meaning "gentle way" is a modern Japanese martial art and combat sport, that was created in Japan in 1882 by Dr Jigoro Kano. Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the object is to either throw one's opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue one's opponent with a grappling maneuver, or force an opponent to submit by joint locking or by executing a choke. Strikes and thrusts by hands and feet as well as weapons defences are a part of judo, but only in pre-arranged forms (kata) and are not allowed in judo competition or free practice (randori). We offer several programs including children, youth, adult beginner and advanced.The beginners curriculum is to introduce this style of Judo to anyone interested in learning more in a condensed 12 week course.All other programs will include rank testing and tournament competition as part of the Dojo Grappling Team.Seminars and workshops available to other schools interested in learning more about Kosen Judo.

Grappling Club Grappling ClubThe Grappling Club is reserved for students that have passed the beginner level Kosen Judo / Jujutsu Program.It is a fact that most fights end up at some point on the ground. In order to hone the necessary skills required for competition, we have formed this specialized class. Members of Team Tengu represent the Dojo in both regional and national grappling tournaments as well as Mixed Martial Arts Ultimate Fighting Competition at the professional level.TEAM TENGU MEMBERS COMPETE AT REGIONAL NAGA TOURNAMENTSThe ancient Jujutsu styles also had ground fighting, but not so much in the sense of wrestling or newaza as it is today. Ryu such as Takenouchi-Ryu and Yoshin-Ryu had disarming techniques (kansetsu) which focused on breaking the bones in the arm so that the soldier could no longer wield a sword or spear. There were also techniques resembling modern Hadake Jime (naked choke) which attacked the Kobuto (helmet) in order to break the neck. The kenjutsu (sword) schools often practiced positions like open guard and do shime (guard) and mune gatame (chest lock) when the fight went to the ground, although they were more focused on how not to get stabbed with a katana (sword) or tanto (knife). After the dissolution of the Samurai class in the 1800's, schools began to focus more on empty hand arts - and two schools in particular had a large body of newaza techniques - namely Fusen-Ryu and Jikishin-Ryu.

Mixed Martial Arts Mixed Martial ArtsThe Mixed Martial Arts program accepts only a very few students and professional fighters from the region.You must apply in person and complete at least two years of training in the Kosen Judo / Jujutsu Program, and one year of Muay Thai before being considered for entry to the team. Exceptions are for students of other respected schools and teams in the area who we currently cross train with on a regular basis or have competed with our team in the past and wish to attend class on a mat fee basis. Only other exceptions are by personal recommendation of former Welter-weigh Champion and Co-owner of Boston Brawler Justin Hammerstum who has helped define what it means to be a member of "Team Tengu", or other active fighters of the team or coaching staff.Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a combat sport in which two competitors attempt to achieve dominance over one another by utilizing a wide variety of permitted martial arts techniques, including striking and grappling.Mixed martial arts was originally based around the concept of pitting different martial arts and fighting styles against each other in competition with minimal rules, in an attempt to determine which system would be more effective in a real combat situation. Modern MMA competition is an evolution of such events, but rules have been implemented to promote the sport, while at the same time maintaining as much of the original no-holds-barred concept as possible. There is however, no general sanctioning body for the sport, and the sets of rules vary according to organization.Typical styles, known for their effectiveness, that have been trained prior to the MMA career, and that are trained individually to enhance a particular phase of combat, are: Stand-up: Kickboxing, Boxing, Karate, and Muay Thai are trained to improve footwork, elbowing, kicking, kneeing, and punching.Clinch: Freestyle wrestling, Greco-Roman wrestling, and Judo are trained to improve clinching, takedowns and throws, while Muay Thai is trained to improve the striking aspect of the clinch.Ground: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Catch Wrestling, Judo, and Sambo are trained to improve submission holds, and defense against them. Styles of Amateur wrestling are trained to improve positioning. Many styles have to be adapted slightly for use in the sport. For example, several boxing stances are ineffective because they leave fighters vulnerable to leg kicks or takedowns. Similarly, judo techniques have to be adapted to an opponent not wearing a judogi. Commonly, modern day MMA fighters do not train in any particular style, but train in teams and with coaches specialized in MMA fighting. In addition to practicing the 3 general phases of combat, the fighters also train in striking on the ground, a combination of all 3; a concept that cannot be attributed to any particular traditional martial art or combat sport.Conditioning, calisthenics, and strength training are also important aspects of a MMA fighters training. Mixed martial arts competition is very demanding physically, and the athletes need to be in top shape to be successful. The different styles of fighting favor different kind of training. For example, strength and power are often favored by ground fighters while stand-up artists generally favor speed over strength. All fighters aim to have plenty of stamina so that they can be effective for the entire duration of their matches.At Myo-Fu An Dojo, we prepare the fighter in all aspects of Mixed Martial Arts. We can also guarantee our students that when they are ready, we will get them professional bouts, and support them at each and every fight with corner men, team support/entourage, coaching, and solid training before a match. Students are encouraged to go at their own pace. Fighting professionally is an individuals option. Although we have several students who choose to fight professionally, we also have students that choose the training option only, or choose to wait a longer period of time before taking on their first match. Prior martial arts background is not necessary, but helpful. Endurance, self-motivation, and determination are required.

Tai Chi Chuan Tai Chi ChuanIn our classes you will learn the traditional Yang Style Long Form at your own pace. Classes include the 108 movement form, philosophy, breathing and meditation, along with push hands and martial application of the movements.Tai Chi Chuan, a style of Chinese Martial Arts, sometimes described as Poetry in Motion, with its gentle, slow and non-jarring movements produces a high degree of relaxation and a balanced unification of body and mind while stretching and toning the bodies muscles and circulating the internal healing energy (Chi). You are left feeling alert, revitalized, yet relaxed with increased focus, harmony, and strength for your daily life.By increasing blood and oxygen circulation throughout the body, Tai Chi improves physical conditioning, decreases fatigue and develops endurance. Practice has been found to reduce blood pressure. As one progresses through the Tai Chi set, the heart rate increases to aerobic exercise levels while the movements promote deep relaxed breathing.Natural correction of posture through the use of Tai Chi is achieved by movement promoting the proper alignment of the spine with the shoulders and pelvis. Flexibility of the joints is also fostered by slow sustained stretches. The practice of Tai Chi additionally involves use of all major skeletal muscle groups. Alternating slow stretching with full muscle contraction relieves muscle tension and improves tone. Strengthening the muscles of the lower back and abdomen is especially good for people with low back pain.One of the major ways that Tai Chi helps the individual is its capacity to increase the local circulation of Chi, especially in the extremities. When an individual does Tai Chi sequence in a relaxed manner, the muscles around the veins, arteries, and nerves will be relaxed, allowing the Chi to distribute itself more evenly and to flow more easily in those particular areas. By improving the local circulation of Chi, less stress is put on the internal organs.Through the combined effects of local circulation and deep breathing, Tai Chi practioners have found that the slow motion empty handed sequence can cure or help alleviate a variety of disorders.In these days of high stress living, Tai Chi offers both a physical and mental outlet. The relaxed awareness with which Tai Chi is performed, produces effects similar to meditation.

Self Protection for Children Self Protection for ChildrenThe program's focus is on practical, do-able skills that are relevant to the types of situations todays children are likely to encounter. Each child is encouraged and fully supported in finding their own way. The training is set up to provide a number of benefits, such as increased coordination, awareness, discipline and confidence. Real World ConsiderationsMyoFu An Dojo's Self Protection Program is Unique. The Self Protection for Children program takes into account real world considerations, such as disparity in size and temperament, as well as a host of other factors that come into play when a child steps outside the training hall and into the real world.Escape and EvasionIn spite of what one may see in the movies and on television, the odds of a young person disabling an adult male attacker with a screaming punch or an acrobatic kick are rather slim. MyoFu An Dojo does not wish to instill a false sense of confidence that after our course the student can stand toe to toe, with an adult male attacker. This is a major difference in our course versus the traditional Self Defense Course. Our classes stress escape and evasion as opposed to automatically kicking and punching.SchedulePlease call the Dojo for a schedule for this class at (603) 673-5331 Course InstructorCourse has been designed and will be instructed by Master Leon Drucker, one of the highest ranking senior instructors of Jujutsu in New England with over 46 year of experience.

Anma

Anma

In Japanese, Anma means massage or massage therapist. It refers to the oldest known form of traditional Asian massage. Using no oil Anma involves stretching, squeezing and massaging to stimulate the body to become and or remain healthy. Anma focuses on improving muscle condition and circulation of ãKiä, or Universal Life Energy. While Western massage techniques tend to focus on relaxing the client, the goals of Anma are to influence the internal organs, maintain balanced physical and psychological functioning of the body, reduce various ailments and help with realigning of the physical structure that may be needed. Anma is not Shiatsu but Shiatsu is a part of Anma. It was not until 1964 that Shiatsu was recognized as distinct and independent from Anma massage. Originally a Shiatsu therapist was a specialist who performed one Anma technique, the pressure method (Ap Paku Ho). Anmaâs foundation is the kneading technique, which combines with several different application techniques to construct the massage. The kneading technique (Ju Netsu Ho) and the percussion techniques (Ko Da Ho and Kyoku Te Ho) are a unique part of Anma and are not found in any other style of massage. There is a distinct cultural difference between the Eastern and Western view and values of health and health care. To practice Anma it is important to understand the basics of how Asians view health and institutional health care. The point where illness is defined is substantially different. In the West, people tend to define illness through the diagnosis of a Western doctor/physician. A primary value in Asian culture is that good health and longevity are valued as the most important part of life, with prevention of disease at the foundation of it. In the West, treatment takes place upon the onset of severe symptoms, with little effort made at strengthening the body overall before disease sets in. The ãinstant cureä or rapid recovery is sought. There is also an over-reliance on doctors and other medical practitioners without much of an understanding that one must be responsible for his or her own health care. Westerners tend to view health as good, unless there are visible symptoms, and then it is bad. Everyone wishes their health to be perfect, being the ideal that only a few people are given. In East Asian people, there is no such thing as perfect health, because health is not perfect to start with. It is accepted that most people have some irregularly or genetic defect of the human body. However, in East Asia trying to achieve balance is the objective, rather than striving for the unachievable ãperfect health.In the East, treatment takes place much earlier in the health care process, with East Asian medical providers looking towards prevention and early diagnosis as the measure of illness. Once noticeable symptoms appear, the illness is viewed as very advanced in Asian medicine. The objective of East Asian medicine is to try to diagnose in the early stages before symptoms appear. Treatment is much easier and recovery is quicker. As well, early detection prevents the spreading of illness.
