About Shu-Ho Ju-Jitsu
Shu-Ho Ju-jitsu Renmei was founded in 1979 by the Head of Shu-Ho Ju-jitsu, Sensei Colin Elgie.
The name Shu-Ho means Superior Peak or Mountain. This name was given to Sensei Colin Elgie, by his own Sensei Soke Hajime Hayabuchi. Renmei means association, federation or group.
Soke Hayabuchi is headmaster of Arakimuninsai Ryu of the Dai Nippon Keitensha Dojo - Headquarters in Kobe, Japan. Soke Hayabuchi's interpretation of Shu-Ho is that students should train hard and strive to rise up from the sea of students to become like a mountain. That is to raise our technique and understanding ever higher.
Sensei Elgie holds the following qualifications:
Roku Dan (7th degree) Shu-Ho Ju-jitsu
Go Dan (5th degree) Iaido - (drawing of the sword)
