Richmond Budo is a training group that practices the essence of many ancient Japanese martial traditions:

Togakure ryu    Ninjutsu Takagi Yoshin ryu    Jujutsu Shinden Fudo ryu    Dakentaijutsu Kuki Shin ryu    Happo Bikenjutsu Gyokko ryu    Kosshijutsu Koto ryu    Koppojutsu

Some of these martial arts rank among the oldest in Japan dating back nearly a 1000 years through 34 generations. Several of these schools were used by the Samurai Class, while others include training in the fighting and philosophy of Japan's legendary Ninja Warriors. These traditions and their lineages appear in the Bugei Ryuha Daijiten, a reference on warrior arts recognized in Japan as authentic.

Unarmed training is termed Taijutsu “Body art” and is the foundation for all the above fighting methods. Taijutsu is a fluid, living art - an art for one's life, an art to live by, and an art to preserve life. The goal is to become a Tatsujin "Fully developed human being" by integrating body, mind, and spirit.
