 Takaji Shimizu “world’s outstanding Exponent and teacher of Bojutsu
Summarized by Rick:

Donn Draeger & Shimizu Sensei
  • Use of resistance exercises of a weight nature which are important to the core of efficiency in Bojutsu
  • These resistance exercises were being performed long before the United States of America was born.
  • “…little indication that this gentleman is the most skilled and respected stick fighting expert known to the world”
  • “Bojutsu or Jodo ias it is sometimes referred to, is a system of defense and attack against armed or unarmed assailants…”
  • “Master Shimizu explains that Bojutsu training follows along traditional lines in which the student is expected to impose a lifetime of discipline voluntarily. By using the high repetition method, the mechanical process initially, is transformed into a reflex-action technique.”
  • “One of his (Shimizu) desires is for the art of Bojutsu to be transplanted hororably to the West”
