The Embassy Judo Club is dedicated to providing a family oriented environment where members of the international community in Tokyo can discover unique aspects of Japanese culture, enjoy staying fit, and learn practical self-defense skills.

Judo  and  Nihon Jujutsu  classes feature healthy and enjoyable exercise, practical self-defense, and focus on the founding principles of traditional Japanese martial arts; integrity, dedication, and mutual respect.

Judo  is both a martial art and an Olympic sport that focuses on throwing and grappling techniques. Practice comprises both kata (pre-arranged forms) and randori (sparring). The freedom of randori allows for great flexibility of movement when applying the full range of techniques that include throwing, pins, joint locks, and chokes. There is no better martial arts for developing overall strength and balance.

Nihon Jujutsu  is a modern Japanese martial art that focuses on practical, efficient techniques as originally found in both ancient and contemporary martial arts. Its principles and techniques derive from Japanese unarmed combat and self-defense techniques from pre-1945 judo and aikibujutsu, as well as taihojutsu (Japanese police immobilization and arresting methods).

The core curriculum of  Nihon Jujutsu  incorporates the practical, decisive throwing, choking, and immobilization methods of judo; the entering and striking of aikibujutsu; the restraining techniques of taihojutsu, and taisabaki (evasive movement) – a fundamental aspect of practical open hand, and armed self-defense techniques.

精力膳用自他共栄  (seiryoku zenyo jitakyôei)

This phrase, first coined by Jigoro Kano, the founder of Kodokan judo, refers both to applications of the physical art during training, and to the larger philosophical concept of utilizing budo as a catalyst for personal growth.

US Embassy Judo Club Founder

Sato Shizuya Sensei

(1929 – 2011)

Founder Embassy Judo Club

Nihon Jujutsu Hanshi 10 Dan

Judo Hanshi 9 Dan

Sato Shizuya, born 1929 in Tokyo, Japan, began his lifetime study of traditional Japanese martial arts during middle school at age 12. Sato’s father learned judo while in the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War I, and was a senior judo instructor for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police. His father’s personal friends and judo compatriots included many preeminent pre-WWII Kodokan instructors, all of whom lent their personal guidance and lifelong support to Sato-sensei. Upon graduation from Meiji Gakuin University in 1948, he joined the International Section at the Kodokan.

1952 – 1956 the U.S. Air Force Strategic Air Command (SAC) established a program to send groups of airmen to the Kodokan to study judo, karatedo, aikido, and police techniques. This program was expanded through 1956, and by its end hundreds of U.S. Air Force martial arts instructors had trained under Sato-sensei, who instructed both aikido (under head aikido instructor Dr. Tomiki Kenji) and taihojutsu techniques (under taihojutsu head instructor and senior Tokyo Metropolitan Police taihojutsu / judo instructor Hosokawa Kusuo). Other notable instructors included such karatedo legends such as Funakoshi Gichin, Nakayama Masatoshi, Obata lsao, and Nishiyama Hidetaka.

In the early 1950’s, Sato-sensei began teaching judo and self-defense at U.S. military facilities around Tokyo. In 1957, Sato-sensei founded the U.S. Embassy Judo Club where he continued to develop and refine the techniques that ultimately evolved into Nihon Jujutsu.
