Bokuyōkan (牧羊館), a school of Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu, is a Japanese martial art founded by Katsumi Yonezawa (1937–1998).[1] This school descends from the school of jujutsu founded by Takeda Sokaku.[2] One of Sokaku's senior students, Horikawa Kodo (1894–1980),[3] founded the Kōdōkai school of Daitō-ryū in 1950 in Kitami, Hokkaidō.[4] After receiving a 7th dan grading through the Kōdōkai and acting as one of the organization's senior teachers, Katsumi Yonezawa founded his own organization, the Bokuyōkan.[1] This organization is currently headed by his son, Hiromitsu Yonezawa.
Founder
Katsumi Yonezawa founded his own Daitō-ryū organization, the Bokuyōkan in Muroran, Hokkaidō, and was one of the first teachers to bring Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu to Mexico, the USA and Canada while still a senior teacher at the Kōdōkai.[1]
Affiliated Schools
The Bokuyōkan is currently run by his son Hiromitsu Yonezawa from Hokkaidō with a following at the Yonezawa dojo and additional branch dojos in the USA.[5] An additional branch of Bokuyōkan is in Germany at Shinki Dojo.[6]
Controversy
While teaching abroad, in North America, Yonezawa awarded a considerable number of Hiden Mokuroku scrolls denoting mastery of the first level of Daitō-ryū's curriculum.[1] Due to this and other philosophical differences, Yonezawa decided to form his own organization, independent of the Kōdōkai.
