|  Hiko Ryu Taijutsu was founded by Grand Master 
              Fujito Koga in 1952 and is rooted in Grand Master Sokaku Takeda's 
              Daito Ryu Jujitsu. The beauty of being rooted in this particular 
              style is that from it evolved three very distinct styles of Grand 
              Master Morihei Ueshiba's Aikido, Grand Master Hoken Inoue's Shinwa 
              Taido and Fuji Ryu Taijutsu. Grand Master Inoue and Grand Master 
              Koga were training partners and traveled throughout Japan honing 
              and teaching their advanced techniques to the different law enforcement 
              agencies and during this time Fuji Ryu Taijutsu was born. 
 In 1991 Grand Master Koga passed the position of Grand Master on 
              to Master Koshiro Tanaka, who then went on to develop over 1000 
              techniques that are the curriculum for the school today. Grand Master 
              Tanaka has traveled throughout the world teaching and training elite 
              military and police forces in countries such as Myanmar, Thailand(the 
              Narcotics Serpression Bureau Royal Thai Police), Vietnam, Philippines(the 
              Philippin National Police SWAT), Kuwait(Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy), 
              Tibet(The Dalai Lama's security), The United States and Europe.
