| About Us. We are a group of like-minded people and organisations that believe that the traditional tenets, aims, courtesies and techniques of Japanese Judo and Jujitsu are worth, not only, preserving - but also keeping alive. We acknowlege and celebrate the different 'schools' (ryu), 'styles' focus and character within these arts and aim to provide a forum to share knowledge and learn from others. |
One Year On... Formed in 2011, the Society ran three successful regional courses throughout the year, bringing together eight different, independent groups. All of the founder members, TJUK, The Zen Judo Family and Kenshindoryu ran seminars, attended by other local and national groups in a spirit of friendship and cooperation. The sessions were an opportunity to experience complimentary or alternate 'styles' of practice, where the rule is that nothing is 'wrong', just 'different', so an open-minded attitude will be essential! At the end of our first year, we are proud to count seven groups directly affiliated, with membership discussions under way with another three groups, in the UK and abroad, and we anticipate an exciting programme of events during 2012, so keep an eye on our 'Courses' page! |
What we DON'T do! Sometimes it's not what you do, but what you don't do that counts, so lets explain some of the things we absolutely will not do ....

But we will support IGAS members .. By including member organisation details on our 'members' page, and linking to your own website. By advertising your courses and training sessions to a wider audience and membership. By offering support and a range of services that can sometimes be expensive or difficult to obtain for smaller clubs By building friendships and alliances with other traditional budoka
