Nestled along a back street in a town one-hour northwest of Tokyo by train, is a dojo unique in modern Japan. It is called the Hakkoryu So Hombu Dojo (General Headquarters School of the Eighth Light Tradition), and was founded by Shodai Soke (First Generation Head) Okuyama Ryuho.
This dojo provides for training in the arts of Hakkoryu Jujutsu (a Japanese system of self-protection) and Hakkoryu Koho Shiatsu (traditional medical therapy using finger pressure).Following Shodai Soke's retirement in 1986, his son, Okuyama Toshio assumed the responsibilities of the Ryu. At that time, Waka Sensei, as Okuyama Toshio was then known, took his father's pen name "Ryuho", and with it, the title Nidai Soke (Second Generation Head).

While Hakkoryu applies pressure techniques on Keiraku to defend oneself or pin down an opponent when one is being attacked, applying pressure techniques on Keiraku is also the essential theory of Koho Shiatsu. In Hakkoryu, one is learning a martial art while at the same time practicing Shiatsu techniques.
We welcome men and women to our martial arts classes which are held in a safe and comfortable facility in The Woodlands, Texas, about 30 minutes north of Houston. Class size is small which allows for much personalized attention to our dedicated students. A typical class consists of stretching exercises followed by discussion and practice of Hakkoryu Jujutsu self-defense techniques and applications.
