Jieitai Ryu Seicho Jutsu Self Defense Extaordinare
On Saturday March 1st,1997 Seicho Jutsu Grandmaster Daniel Verkerke, Instructors and
Junior Instructors assembled together to demonstrate a variety of self defense scenarios
which demonstrate the art of Seicho Jutsu.
The event was hosted by Grandmaster Daniel Verkerke at the Jieitai Ryu Seicho Jutsu Hombu
Dojo in Cambridge, Ontario. It was the joining of Martial Artists to unite and contribute
to show their explosive techniques, chokes, throws, take downs and finishing techniques.
This had the students utilize directional movements to many different attacks, where they
subdued their opponent through the use of submissions, immobilizations, trapping, to take
down locks, thus showing the most realistic and effective ways of ending an attack. Some
were no-nonsense straight to the point explosive techniques, while other's used a variety
of techniques to finish an opponent off.
This event was meant to help all Seicho Jutsu students learn the skill and knowledge of
the most realistic and effective use of defensive directional movement against any attack.
The Self Defense Extraordinare was video taped and will be used as a learning experience
for lower belts, beginning students and the public to inform and educate on the concepts
and techniques of Seicho Jutsu.
