San Yama Bushi
Jujutsu is called the Gentle Art
We at the San Yama Bushi and Combination GoJu School of Self Defense Inc., (SYBCG) provide a number of services. One of the styles that we teach is San Yama Bushi Jujutsu. The school was founded by, Sensei Zurriane Bennett. The version that we offer at the school is a Combat Jujutsu style. The original style of San Yama Bushi Jujutsu was founded by, Shinan Hector Negron. Whom trained under the late Shinan Antonio Pereira Sr,. Like many martial arts, San Yama Bushi is a, Martial arts with a great history. The history of the arts goes back to Japan. San Yama Bushi Jujutsu gets its connection from its parent a style of Jujutsu. That style is Mi Yama Ryu Jujutsu. This styles, was created by Shinan Antonio Pereira Sr, in the 1960’s. Shinan Pereira trained in Japan at the Kodokan under O Sensei, Master Morihei Uyeshiba in the 1960’s. Shinan Pereira was truly a man with vision several of the processes use today he was using in the back in the early 70’s.
The system uses, punches, kicks, locks, holds, throws, wrist techniques, body movement, ground controls, sitting techniques, wall techniques, knife, gun, club techniques etc. With these techniques, we also hold high Respect, Honor, Focus, Self-control, and a Positive mental attitude with a high level of professionalism. As the late Shinan Pereira said, You do not know how in the devil a man is going to attack you.” “So you can not enter with a prearranged form of defense.” So, we prepare for all types of attacks. Training is like having an insurance policy.
What makes our system great and useful in today’s world? The system has taken classic jujutsu, judo, karate, aikido techniques, and the modern requirements of today. This provides a style that meets the needs of those living today. This is from the mothers to the fathers, whom have not done any exercise, to the cook, the police, and members of the military. We also understand the one size does not fit all. We deal with each person as a person. The ages of the people that are active in the system are also very wide from teenagers to students in there late 70’s.
We had an open house at my school a few months ago. One of the Shihans in the system attended. During the open, we had several demos for all who attended. There was a warm –up period and the students were running and diving over other students and doing a roll out. All of a sudden this, shihan who is 70 years old ran then dived over 5 people not touching anyone did a prefect rollout and popped up and said “that is the way you do it young fellows.†It was an amazing thing to see. One of the other guest instructors from another system said I hope I can do that when I am at that age.
We have had several students that come to train with us that had health problems and concerns before they started training with us. Most of them have greatly improved and most said that they no longer have any problems. All have commented on greater flexibility and stamina. So the martial arts has again had a positive effect on not only them but their families. The Martial Arts have had a very positive effect on these people.
Like any art is this the pioneers that made it but it is the professional instructors of today and tomorrow that keep it great. A mind once stretched by ideas never regains its original dimensions. Come joint us and learn the gentle art.
Ous!
