Shinto Muso Ryu Jodo

Today, several groups around Australia practice Jodo as a classical tradition. Practitioners train in Perth (WA), Adelaide (SA), Melbourne (VIC), Sydney (NSW), Brisbane and Sunshine Coast (QLD). The original Australian Shinto Muso Ryu Jodo training group today trains in Willoughby, Sydney, under the direction of senior practitioner, Paul Maloney-Sensei, who has received the sho-mokuroku scroll.

Maloney-Sensei started his study of Jodo in Japan under the guidance of the late Shimizu-Sensei, and Donn Draeger-Sensei. Returning to Australia, Shimizu-Sensei and Draeger-Sensei's wish for the promotion of Shinto Muso Ryu Jodo has been carried out by the Australian Jodo Federation, the Australian branch of the International Jodo Federation, founded by Draeger-Sensei and now lead by Pascal Krieger-Sensei.

Practice is lead in Shinto Muso Ryu Jodo (four foot staff), Kasumi Shinto Ryu Kenjutsu (sword), Uchida Ryu Tanjojutsu (short stick), Isshin Ryu Kusarigamajutsu (chain and sickle), and Ikkaku Ryu Juttejutsu (anti-sword truncheon).
