ハーレーフリーク日記 from LA by WitUSA & Daitoryu Aikijujutsu Roppokai LA

"Roppo", a multi-dimensional response to attacks.


In 1980, I founded the Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu Roppokai to further spread the teachings of
Horikawa kodo-sensei.




The word "roppo" in the organization's name refers to the six directions:
east, west, south, north, heaven and earth.


It also refers to a Kabuki move in which the actor uniquely moves his arms and legs in a dynamic motion as he walks along the " hanamichi" or a "flower way", a special path connecting the stage and the backstage.


I often compare "Roppo" to a die.　Like a die, which has six faces,
"Roppo" is a skill that can respond to attacks from above, below,front, back, left or right.


But unlike a die, which is angular,"roppo" should be round and infinite.
The name " Roppo" is an acquisitive name.
