Bushin Ryu teaches practical self defence and martial science as derived from old Okinawan kata. Soft Chi Gung and HARD self defence. Thank you Simon

Sensei Simon Tarrant
Instructor Certificate &
4th Dan Bushin Ryu We are a self defence school not a sports based school. We have a traditional base with a focus on the Martial Sciences - Bujutsu. Old Okinawan Karate is often referred to as the original MMA. The Bushin Ryu Bujustu-kai syllabus contains;
- empty hand techniques
- punching
- kicking
- grappling (standing up and on the floor)
- weapons (bo, knife, sticks)
- kata and chi gung-energy training. Bushin Ryu School of Bujutsu is a school for the study of martial arts, and understanding of TCM(Traditional Chinese Medicine) as related to the martial arts/martial science. Also we teach an understanding of anatomy and physiology as related to the martial arts, movements and thought patterns. I have over 40 years of study and practice in various martial arts, and still continue to learn and train, to try and understand what made the Old Masters what they were. With a modern understanding of energy systems, blood and nervous systems, muscular and fascia systems, we begin to understand the depth of knowledge these old masters had, and hopefully, with practice, we replicate some of their magic. We are a small school of dedicated martial artists, trying to be better martial artists and human beings.

This guy at stop chasing pain has loads of chi gung and modern western explanations about them and why they work.

We were discussing just the other day in class why in kata you turn your eyes, then your head and then your body.
Here is an explanation for that.

Another thing comes up with your eyes especially for sleep. Getting early morning sun in your eyes helps reset body chemistry - 5-10-20mins in early morning light sets you up for a sleep that night.

Don't beat yourself up for NOT training, just get out do something, then more.
I had surgery again a few years ago and yup I have struggled - BUT I KNOW FOR ME THIS KARATE STUFF IS ALL MY LIFE TILL I CANT MOVE - and not being better straight away just gives goals and motivation for the future. 😁😎😁
Little goals give you little dopamine spikes.
Morning walk/exercise with sun in eyes resets metabolism and helps just about everything.
Time to start moving again.

Katas, breakdowns, breathing, chi gung, Ju Jutsu, Aikijutsu, kubodo etc etc

Martial Science - Bu Jutsu

We talk about this in class often…so a little reminder to students.
Fear dominates fights - if you can’t control/use your fear, it will control you.
Use your flinch, control fear by acting - you have a chance to use your martial arts skill.
Some of our early research came from Sijo Ian Waite and this guy - Tony Blauer…10-15yrs ago, and a version got added into our Bushin Ryu base.
Know Fear.
❤️❤️ Simon
