The Koden Bugei Kyokai is an independent group and makes no claims to affiliation with any other budo groups. We use the term takagi in our name but it is based on our own  understanding of the teachings of Tanemura Katsumi.We teach a comprehensive curriculum based on Aiki Budo, Kodokan Judo, and the Yoshin Ryu lineages.

    We plan on publishing a web journal entitled "Bugei no hiketsu". We invite knowledgable practitioners of Kenjutsu, Jujutsu, Iaido, Shiatsu, Aikijujutsu, and any other recognized Japanese Budo too submit article ideas.

Our aiki bdo class requires the wearing and care of a kimono (top), hakama (pleated pants), and obi (special belt). To order the proper kimono type, please visit Bugei trading and order the black kimono here- http://bugei.com/product_612_detail.htm

     Koden Bugei Kyokai

  An institute for the study of Japanese Budo (Martial Arts) as well as Seiho (Massage & Accupressure) and Cultural Studies (Calligraphy, Yoga, and Nihongo).

The Koden Bugei Kyokai differs greatly from a majority of the schools in the U.S because it is an actual Dojo or place to practice the way. We feel that the majority of training centers in the U.S are more like fitness clubs than actual Traditional Dojo.

We offer several different courses, each with a unique objective. Click the links to experience this beautiful place.

We offer classes six days per week. Our focus is centered on  our system- "Takagi Shn Ryu Aiki Budo" but we also train very vigorously in Judo and modern grappling disciplines. These two programs serve very different purposes and are separated for this purpose. That being said, we focus on Kodokan Judo as a complete study of self defense and self development. We downplay the sport aspects of the art. Randori is actively studied and trained but with a focus on viable self defense.
