A BRIEF HISTORY OF JUKAIKIDO

Jukaikido is a complete compendium of the best and most subtle techniques from old and moder martial arts,combined with a philosophic-religious-warrior-spiritual content. It is a product of the study and union of the old-modern, East-West in an harmonious balance, as reflected in its Ying-Yang emblem. jukaikidoIts origins can be found in the principles of any other of martial art, since it uses the same techniques. Some of the techniques are midified and adapted to the needs of today and others are extracted from the most modern combat systems. Others are from old and new sports, such as boxing, American wrestling, rock climbing, scuba-diving, etc.

Originally it was called Jukaido, which then became Jukajutsu and then finally taking the name of Jukaikido, with the inclusion of the new concepts of Jukaikido.

Today, it is taught in some North Americans states, and it has recently been introduced into Europe, via Spain, Germany and Croatia. Among its founders, collaborators and creators can be found Shihan Yoshinao Kubota, Grand Masters: A. Montgomery, K. Saito, W. Koleck and S. Sanchis, who finally gave it the name of Jukaikido. He added a great number of techniques and associated sports, and created an efficient system for learning, assimilating and following the techniques using a method that makes its teaching and distribution to the rest of the students relativey easy.These techniques vary according to the trainig level and progress through the belt grades. The techniques are complemented and coordinated with others, both similar and distinct that have been used in other martial arts. They do not originate in a single individual because they have been used during centuries by different people, under different names or even the same name, but in Japanese can only be named one way, and understanding to the practitioners who come principally from these and other martial arts, schools or styles. There exists a great variety in the manner in which the different original combinations are used and trainedThese are katas, but no show-like competitions. This is due to several inportant reasons: among other things, these words convert it into just another sport. In some, (fortunately just a few), a contamination can be observed in focusing martial arts more towards total commercialization, the giving out of rapid grades, medals and trophies without merit (paid for at a high price), dubious refereeing, sincere and arbitrary mistakes and the "bastardization" of the fundamental principles of the knowledge and spirit embodied in Budo, Zen and human ethics.This is the only martial art in which prior knowledge of other martial arts is recognized and rewarded. This is a martial art in which the student's knowledge is completed, made as effective as possible and where the opportunity exists, within the same program to learn survival techniques, scuba diving and mountain climbing techniques.

There is an atmosphere favorable to train with motivations, in a familiar and friendly environment. Combat, effort, chivalrous behaviour, and control of aggressiveness, peace, patience, repect and harmony with nature.

It is a noble art destined for an elite few with sufficient culture, high spirit, and a strong moral sense.

Beginning Jukaikido is the initiation towards a higher plane of moral essence, incommunicable to the dark side of human nature.



JUKAIKIDO is a martial art, where the origins of its techniques are lost in time. It is the continuation and perfection of JUKAIDO and JUKAJUTSU, and it is a path to their complete understanding. Masters Kubota and Saito started practicing martial arts with a few American officers in Japan at the end of World War II. In the 1950s, they came to the U.S.A. and continued practicing martial arts in general. After collaborating with other Masters from the U.S.A. and Europe, they decided to name their art JUKAIDO. Later, in the 1960s JUKAJUTSU was the name given to techniques introduced by a Teacher from Europe. JUKAJUTSU was taught in select military and elite groups. In 1976. Master Saito died, followed by Master Y. Kubota in 1980. This left as inheritors of these martial arts the Masters and SOKE, A. Montgomery, W. Koleck, and S. Sanchis. At the end of this year, JUKAIKIDO was created as a continuation with many new techniques been added and a distinction was made between military and civil JUKAIKIDO. In the military version, you learn in addition to the best selfdefense techniques, the following skills: mountain climbing, rappelling, scuba diving, marching, racing techniques, archery, use of modern and ancient weapons, techniques of escape, interrogation, espionage, demolition, intrusion, reconnaissance, sabotage, ambushing techniques, resistance. Use of a multitude of vehicles, survival, incursion, and many more skills. In the civil version, some of these disciplines can be learn and practiced at the black belt level. JUKAIKIDO'S effectiveness has been demonstrated in past arm conflicts, in which personnel trained under these disciplines have survived and returned victorious. Today, JUKAIKIDO is still practiced, and it has been introduced in military schools in the U.S.A., Spain, Croatia, Germany and Mexico, in both civil and military versions. The system of teaching is organized so that a single instructor can train students in several of these disciplines, covering many areas.
