'A summary of the style by Sensei Terry Boorer'

Newcomers to our clubs often ask “What style is it’?” It may well be that they have heard of or are genuinely interested in a certain style, but if they have not studied Ju-Jitsu before does it really make a difference if the style is hard, soft, big circle, small circle etc.

The answer to this is not easy, simply because over the many years of training with different clubs, associations and various international instructors, to credit what style we do to one specific school of learning would be wrong.


To explain:-
I first started in a style known as Hontai Yo Shin Ryu. However this style may have been improved or altered from its true form. I did not have, and still do not have the means to authenticate that style.

Using Hontai Yo Shin Ryu I have gone on to learn from other styles i.e., Yuko Ryu, Myo Shin Ryu Tai Jitsu, Aiki Jutsu etc. The only true style being Myo Shin Ryu, which is a newly developed style and recognised by the Butokukai in Japan.

As with most styles that are taught, the instructors will take the best, most effective techniques and pass on knowledge of these, so that if one trains in different styles, hopefully the best of the best will be passed down the line together with the individualism of that instructor. To me, personally, the name of the style means nothing, yes there are stylish ways of executing techniques, but at the end of the day, if you can go about your daily life with confidence in your ability to defend yourself and family then that should be the style that we aim to do.

To round up, our style would be of a nomadic nature, having no home but being progressive with the times, a mixture of origins and open to other ideas.

In conclusion, we have a collection of techniques, including both traditional and modern so the name of the style we do, translated, is Korekushon Ju-Jitsu.
