Junsei Ryu Hoshin Jutsu translates as 'The pure/genuine methods of the art of self defense'. Junsei is an organisation borne out of the necessity for more traditional methodology that is currently and increasingly being missed, and/or ignored by modern Aiki Jutsu systems in the place of grappling
Junsei’s objective is to preserve, protect and promote disappearing traditional and combative Aiki Jutsu. The organisation strives to establish support, development, friendship, mutual cooperation, growth, education, and promotion of traditional and combat Aiki Jutsu throughout the UK and beyond. Junsei also recognize and register all different styles and families of Aiki Jutsu, as well as establishing Aiki Jutsu seminars and training camps. Junsei Ryu supports the international Ju Jitsu community, through the means of our structure, schools, dojos and clubs. And lastly Junsei Ryu recognize, support and register international Ju Jitsu teachers and students by recognizing their skills, and knowledge based on the International Recognition System of Membership and Rank Validation, Recognition and Promotion.

Junsei grades on a modern system, embracing the fact that westerners need a goal to measure progress and skill development. Like many other Aiki Jutsu systems in Junsei a student starts as a beginner, (White Belt), and progresses through increasingly more demanding techniques, until they are in a position to try for Shodan, (Black Belt). This process can take on average around 8 years. Junsei is not a certificate mill, and will only award/recognise grade based on ability, determination and spirit and time in grade.
Junsei’s Mon emblem embraces the wisdom of 'Happo No Kamae', eight directions of defense and attack, also representing eight circles of attainment and knowledge, gained through progress through the grading system. Starting with the outer most circle and working inwards towards true self, the inner most circle, which Junsei, acknowledge as the true beginning, Black Belt Shodan.
