"Jutsu" can be translated to mean "art" or "technique.” Though it is considered a soft art, it is very effective. Jujutsu is learning to manipulate the opponent's force against himself rather than confronting it with force. Jujutsu developed by the samurai of feudal Japan as a method for defeating an armed and armored opponent. Because striking against an armored opponent was found to be ineffective, practitioners learned that the most efficient methods for neutralizing the enemy was that of pins, joint locks, and throws. These techniques prove effective on all attackers regardless of size or strength, and with very little physical effort. The Story of Yosh*tsune Jujutsu
Junji SaitoJunji Saito, founder of the Yosh*tsune Jujutsu system, moved to the United States in 1960. He had been a reporter for a Japanese newspaper and was assigned to London, England some years prior to Lloyd George becoming prime minister of England. Saito after being disappointed with Kodokan Judo first trained with an 86 year old Jigen Ryu master who taught him their form of Jujutsu. He later trained with his long time childhood friend, Ryuho Okuyama, the founder of Hakko Ryu and he eventually became the highest rank possible in that system, Shihan Menkyo Kaiden. Michael DePasquale Sr
Saito Sensei can be described being very small in stature, 5 feet tall and very slender with a full head of white hair. Saito Sensei was not very strong looking, was very soft spoken and wore wire framed glasses. This all added to his appearance and the impression one got when meeting him for the first time. Shihan DePasquale Sr. described Saito Sensei as having ability far superior to anyone he had ever met, and that his ability was to teach was unsurpassed! He had a way about him to make people listen attentively and understand as he passed on his martial arts knowledge. Soon after arriving in the United States Saito Sensei took all of his favorite techniques from the systems he had studied and combined them into a system that became known as Yosh*tsune Jujutsu. His thought was these techniques were more suited to the larger physique and self defense needs of Americans. In addition, Saito Sensei transmitted the Hepi Ryu system of Bo Jutsu at the Yosh*tsune Dojo. Depasquale Ju JitsuMichael DePasquale Sr. founded the Yosh*tsune Dojo in 1961. He trained in and taught traditional,authentic Japanese Jujutsu for more than half a century, and was commissioned as Shihan ("master instructor") in Hakko Ryu Jujutsu by Soke Ryuho Okuyama of Omiya, Japan. DePasquale’s principal instructor for more than 26 years was Junji Saito, a Shihan Menkyo Kaiden (master instructor with all of the style's secrets). In 1964, Shihan DePasquale performed Jujutsu demonstrations at the Japanese Pavilion of the New York World's Fair. Upon Junji Saito’s passing in 1988, Michael DePasquale Sr. became the headmaster of the Yosh*tsune Jujutsu system. Shihan DePasquale is regarded by many to be the father of American Jujutsu who started his Jujutsu training in 1944 while a member of the CID Division in the US Army. He received numerous awards and distinctions during his life time including his induction into the Black Belt Hall of Fame, Jujutsu America’s Hall of Fame and was the recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from Black Belt Magazine.Michael DePasquale Sr

The Serpent School of Stick Fighting
Hepi Ryu (snake style) hanbo-jitsu was the family style of Yosh*tsune Waza founder Junji Saito. It is a rarely-taught, highly-disciplined and unique martial art which specializes in the use of the half staff, cane, yawara and other weapons. Hepi Ryu means snake or serpent school. The snake or serpent is symbolic of the school’s techniques. Using the weapons of the Ryu to entangle and entrap the attacker many times with multiple locks to various parts of the body. We all know that anyone at anytime could become dependant upon a cane to help them get around, no matter of your age or physical condition. The Cane is the only Self Defense Weapon that can be carried anywhere in all 50 states, including Airplanes, and Courtrooms. The Cane is an easy but effective weapon that all ages can learn. As we all get older it is more likely we will need use of a cane and not be as capable to throw a kick, so learning the cane is a practical and useful tool. With an assault happening in the US every 15 seconds you can see the World is becoming more and more violent especially towards the elderly, and handicapped. We have classes for the Blind, Handicapped, and the Elderly in traditional Hepi Ryu and Combat Cane
My Defensive Cane Class teaches simple, basic, and effective strikes and blocks that will keep any person of any age safe and confident so they won’t become a victim in today’s violent World.
