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.
